Fuck y'all, I'm Tolkienmaxxing.
picks up a copy of The Silmarillion and starts reading
Good luck. Parts of it read like the Bible. A good deal is really, really dry.
On the other hand, you can open it anywhere and start reading. There's no real start or end. It's just too big and complex to be viewed sequentially.
*Cue They’re Taking the Hobbits to Isengard* 😎🥳🤘
That's how I read it first and was confused!
That's my preferred strategy too. Currently building lego Rivendell, reading the Hobbit to my kid and looking for a new LotR edition to buy. (I want a modern Dutch edition with separate map, but it doesn't seem to exist.)
