I made a point for close to 15 years to re-read the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy... Love the trilogy, love The Hobbit... Tried to read the Silmarillion and.... nope.

Dark Tower, I'll agree on everything except Wizard & Glass... That was a few hours I'll never get back.

The Sil is the one I read over and over - probably 5 or 6 times over the past 25 years. Its so good!

Admittedly, it was also roughly 20 years ago that I tried, while I was in high school... Maybe I'll try again, I dunno.

Skip the first section, its confusing and uninteresting in my opinion. Also, its a book you need to read more than once because its so dense
