Silmaillion is pretty good if you've got the patience. If you're an LOTR lore junkie like me, Silmarillion is a must have.
It's exactly like this. There is is a 'certain point' where it gets more fast paced. The part that's considered 'slow' is the part of the creation of middle earth. But anybody above 12 years old should be able to read that just fine.
Guess I'll start there then, It will probably make more sense anyway to read an actually full story, before the collection of small stories.
also is this one the book that details the Istari, or is that Unfinished tales?unfinished tales is a mish mash of stuff that he never finished and has no other lore to it other than in the short story in which it explains itself. This prompted his son having to write like 3 chapters per story to explain anything. I would pass as it is really confusing.
the silmarillion explains gandalf and the like albeit briefly
