20250425 Friday Book log: The Silmarillion Finally got around to it, 40 years after my dad read me the Hobbit, and 30 years after I read the Lord of the Rings. I ennjoyed the airy first few chapters about the creation, then the density of names and places made for a tougher read. From the chapter about Maeglin and on the text becomes more narrative and the reading more effortless. Heading straight into The Children of Hurin, which has been on my shelf since April 2007.
