Silmarillion   (book)

Silmarillion

Tolkein created a complete new world in his literature. A fantasy world of good and evil, easily distinguishable, which looks more and more appealing these days when it's harder and harder to tell them apart. The Silmarillion is part of the backstory for Tolkein's more famous trilogy, and it's interesting reading. I've read part of this, and I pick it up again from time to time. It's a bit allegorical, not surprisingly, as it is a tale of the beginning of the world coming from a Catholic.
