But remember that you must not expect a "story" in the way LotR told.

When you read the Silmarillion, it is as if you are looking at Middle Earth from above and in a fast forwarded version.
It's completely different from the other novels.

I found it very "unpersonal" (for the lack of a better word) but still amazing to read if you want to know more about the background and lore. (:
