I know they're not the easiest things to read because he has a style that's all his own. I loved the Silmarillion but I know most people don't.
I do love his style. I loved the language of the Silmarillion, the rich, flowing descriptions... I just couldn't get into the story, because, well... nothing seemed to be happening for a really loooong time.:P And in LOTR, I already know what's going to happen. So I take my sweet time with it, LOL.
I don't think it matters how we got into Rings, just that we did, and we're here. :)
