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 .
