The Silmarillion, Volume I by J.R.R. TolkienMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
When I first read this years ago, I was merely thirsty for more of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, etc. So, I was disappointed and even disoriented since this sweep is much more epic and grander. Now, I come to it to appreciate only Tolkien's vision and this triumph by the linguist and fantasist. It is also rather entertaining to read of Balrogs, Elrond, and Galadriel, etc. in their mythic roles during the legendary First Age.
