Search - The Silmarillion

one of the top five books i've ever read. not a book you can fully 'get' in one reading but a book that continually reveals its brilliance and wisdom with every reading. Highly highly highly recommended!

No lover of LOTR will be complete without this second edition of The Silmarillion. Edited by Christopher Tolkien. A number one New York Time bestseller when it was first published, this book is the core of J.R.R. Tolkien's imaginative writing. Tolkien considered The Silmarillion his most important work. This great collection of tales and legends clearly sets the stage for all his other writing, even though it was published posthumously.

A bit of a lower rating. I\'m an action/ adventure type. This is the very \"technical\", and of course name- laden history of Middle-Earth. Great book if you can keep up with names. I had to make notes in order to follow.

What a pretty version of this book!
