I’ve read the creation part of that book once. The rest is an interesting read in a world history, taken in parts. And it makes a later reading of _The Lord of the Rings_ deeper since you “get” a lot of the cultural references made by various characters in passing.

Hubby finally relented and we watched the LOTR series as a family. He’s not into fantasy or such stuff. He didn’t enjoy it.

I hadn’t seen the movies since I started the Silmarillion. Things make so much MORE sense.

It got up to the story of Barien and Luthien (spelling?) and quit.
