The Silmarillion by J.R.R. TolkienMy review
rating: 5 of 5 stars
You have to be able to put yourself deep into the language to read this book. It is one of the most incredible ever written. If you can't get past the near-biblical language, try reading Unfinished Tales instead. "Tuor and the fall of Gondolin" is one of the greatest stories that Tolkien ever wrote.
Get through the creation stuff (which I still found an incredible read) and get into the later stories of the first two ages of Middle-Earth. It explains so much of what happened with The Lord of the Rings and why it happened.
