A Goodreads user asked this question about
The Silmarillion:
I own the whole LOTR trilogy and I intend to buy The Hobbit and The Silmarillion. In which order do you recomend reading these? (I've seen all the movies, but have not read any of the books).
Teodor Alexandru
I recommend reading The Silmarillion first, then the Hobbit, then the LOTR trilogy, as this would be the proper order of the events of Middle-earth.
