   The Silmarillion is good but a little too Tolkien for most people. You should also pick up Unfinished Tales if you want a little more background on his world. I have read both many times and enjoy them.

   The Silmarillion is a mythology book and it 100% fulfills everything that it sets out to do. It feels like something that can stand alongside other famous works of European mythology, which was Tolkien's intention.

   Is the Silmarillion a good book?

   • The Silmarillion was not an easy read and the first half of the book was completely not fun at all to read. Due to the nature of writing style, there were also a lot of events that could’ve worked so much better rather than making me feel so distant. However, this book clearly shows Tolkien’s capability as a pioneer in fantasy world-building.

   Should I read The Silmarilion?

   • It's a great read, especially for expansion of knowledge of Middle Earth, LOTR lore, etc. but it can be dry, as characterized by quite a few people already. Don't forget to read "The Children of Hurín" though; it's a more typical Tolkien read than The Silmarilion.

   Is the Silmarillion Tolkien's best?

   • Anyway, I found these random references hilarious. They didn’t seem to fit into the picture I had of Middle-earth at all, and I couldn’t help but snort whenever I came across one of them. So yeah, on the whole, I’d say that The Silmarillion definitely isn’t Tolkien’s best.

   Should I read The Silmarillion or the children of Hurn?

   • Don't forget to read "The Children of Hurín" though; it's a more typical Tolkien read than The Silmarilion. The Silmarillion was a great read after you read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings and find yourself still wanting more. It fills in a lot of backstory you aren't aware of from the novels.

   It is perfectly A-OK to buy The Silmarillion and then to read the "Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age" FIRST -- you can go ahead and just "ignore" those other (1 & 2) sections for now if you want. Then, if you want more background on the Numenoreans, well...
