The Silmarillion was actually the first Tolkien book I read... it was the only book by JRRT available at the bookstore *sigh*. That was back in 1998 - before the movie came out!
(okay, I got hooked w/ JRRT's writings because I watched a cartoon version of "The Hobbit" when I was in the 4th grade, w/c ws eons ago - weird, huh?)

I never found Sil boring (even when I reread it - w/c I've done, again & again).

And I BLAME THT DARN BOOK for getting me hooked on buying JRRT's books everytime I see a new one I haven't read at the bookstore! Unfortunately, Tolkien's book sales didn't pick-up until the movie came out. And the ones I'm waiting for haven't arrived yet!
