Out of LoTR and the Silmarillion, I prefer the Sil, it is an amzing book, and it is written so beautifuly even though it is sad. It gives you the background history to LoTR, and fills in all those missing pieces, for instance The Rings of Power and the Akallabeth which is the downfall of Numenor. I love LoTR, but Sil is my all time favourite.
