  I definitely plan to read the Silmarillion, because the history of middle earth sounds so interesting.

    It’s worth it! I only read it last year and it gave me a whole new level of appreciation for the other stories.

      Once you’ve read the Silmarillion, there’s also The Children of Húrin. If you start from the Hobbit > LOTR > Silmarillion > CoH, it’s basically a steady progression of increasing epicness and tragedy.

      I suppose the Silmarillion is the most epic, but Children of Húrin is the most intensely tragic.

    It’s a very different style. I couldn’t slog through it
