Hello.

I have the book of course, but i don't know if it's worth to read it! It's a little boring, is the book the same like in the beginning? They just tell how it was before, or?

Your crazy!

Silm. is not boring, it is just a little difficult to understand the first time you read it, don't worry, it gets better anyway. Plus it gives you that edge on people that have only read LotR

amazing sense of humor or?

You picked a strange spot to complain about the Silmarillion being boring.

I will admit to the fact that when it came out in 77, I was a tender youth of 11 or 12 and I had read LotR 2 or 3 X , I forced myself to get through it once and the second time it began to get through, and I stared in wonder and took to wandering in the woods looking for elves and toasting the Va lar with filched wine my dad had made .

"What then was this hope , if you know ?" Finrod asked "They say" answered Andreth :" they say that the One will himself enter into Arda , and heal Men and all the Marring from the begining to the end."</p>
