The Silmarillion, my favorite JRR Tolkien

Nov 9, 2017
1 min read

I just reviewed a few books for Goodreads and decided to share one of them here:

I read J.R.R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion after Lord of the Rings, and liked it even more. It added such glorious context and scope to the elves' struggles over thousands of years. It gave me a greater appreciation and love for the LOTR characters — as well as an amazing work in its own right, of course.

The only part I didn't love—at all!—was the intro section on the creation of the world, which seems to put so many people off. (And it is nothing like the rest of the book.) If that bothers you at all, either skim or skip past it and return to it later, once you're hooked, which you will be if you liked Tolkien's other work.

I completely agree! "The Silmarillion" offers such a rich background to the world of Middle-earth. The depth of the lore really enhances the characters we love from "The Lord of the Rings." I also found the 2v2io creation section a bit challenging, but it's worth pushing through for the incredible stories that follow!

I loved your insights on "The Silmarillion"! It’s such a rich tapestry of lore. I felt a similar connection with Slope 2—both explore vast worlds with deep histories. What aspect of Tolkien's work resonates most with you?

Tripura's artistic traditions deserve appreciation because they reflect the creativity and experiences https://tripuravision.com/ of its communities. Handicrafts, textiles, folk performances, music, and traditional designs provide meaningful ways to express cultural identity. Promoting local artists can help preserve these skills and create additional income opportunities. Cultural exhibitions and community events also give younger generations a chance to learn directly from experienced practitioners. Supporting traditional arts allows heritage to remain visible while encouraging fresh creative expression
