I'm listening to The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien (read by Andy Serkis, but I'm also actively reading a PDF of the book while I listen to it)

Thoughts on this book?
Thoughts on The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit?
I might watch The Rings of Power but I've heard mixed things on it. What do you all think of it?
Mostly though: I'm hoping that some people here can expand on what I'm reading so far.
'Cause honestly, I do like what I'm reading, I do, and that's because I genuinely like the mythological tone that the world-building takes. And Numenor as an "Atlantis" is a fine way to do things, but honestly, I doubt they'll be able to do much with it in whatever Amazon property they decide to make of it (which, I mean, is fine). I wonder if there are other shows or serials besides The Rings of Power that are coming out? Either way: I really like the beginning and how everything started with music and song.
Your thoughts?
You're viewing a single thread.
I feel kinda awful about it, because I genuinely adore The Hobbit and LotR, but I have made it halfway through The Simarillion and gotten distracted by something else so many times.
I keep telling myself I'm going to push through it one day. I honestly dig the world building, but it's like my brain just gets exhausted at some point, and I can't get in the mood until it's been so long I've forgotten too much again.
Best you have nothing else to do lmao
Reading it is kind-of like its own project.
But I like it for it. And I don't mind reading history books.
