A number-one New York Times bestseller when it was originally published, The Silmarillion is the core of J.R.R. Tolkien's imaginative writing, a work whose origins stretch back to a time long before The Hobbit.

Review of 'The Silmarillion' on 'Goodreads'

While this book features the finest world building in all of fiction and perhaps even all of English literature, its obsession with detail makes it a difficult read. It is not something I should have attempted reading at age 13 (did not finish at about 35%), but restarting it was one of the finest decisions I've ever made.
