The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien

4.0

I always said I'd read the 'bible' of Lord of the Rings. I am proud to announce that I read it!

Armed with a 'map' and a wiki, I was able to comb through the Silmarillion. It's amazing reading these events and finding the choices made by others and and their predecessors shaped the characters and the world of Middle Earth that we know now!

My favorite chapters were of Turin, Luthien and Beren, and countless stories of Morgoth/Melkor going against the Varda and their offspring.

I'm really hoping that one day this book is adapted to the screen - may it be animation, a mini-series, a documentary, I don't know. It's a wonderful read and I'm glad it exists.
