Il Silmarillion

While this book features the finest world building in all of fiction and perhaps even all of English literature, its obsession with detail makes it a difficult read. It is not something I should have attempted reading at age 13 (did not finish at about 35%), but restarting it was one of the finest decisions I've ever made.

La primera vez que lo empecé me pareció sorprendente y a la vez un bodrio. La santidad suele serlo. La historia de luthien y berren justifica todo.
