I've done it! Read The Hobbit, LOTR and The Silmarillion in a row.

Reviews (ish) under cut link (well these are re-reads):

The Silmarillion is a dry read but I love it anyway. I especially love the creation myth that starts it. Can't you imagine the celestial chior and the clashing motifs, the new themes introduced and the final heavenly music that swells and lifts you, resounding through the universe, filling your soul.

Best Creation story EVER!

You're asking me Brendan? The girl who always goes on about the power of music EVERYWHERE. Yes, I can imagine. As a person who has played music for a number of years and loves musicals to bits, I understand the glorious power of music.

Collective music courses right through you and binds you all together. I love it.
