Tolkien's "The Children of Húrin"
I really only have one question about this: will it be even less readable than "The Silmarillion"?
Of course, it could be as dull as the "Books of Lost Tales". "The Hobbit" was a classic; "Lord of the Rings" was a rather fine read. After that, the Tolkien oeuvre is a little hard going.

I had the same experience as you with “The Silmarillion", Adam. As a Tolkien fan, I think I would have much better enjoyed the straight sharing of Tolkien’s notes, without the effort of someone else trying to link it all together.
As a “window into the mind of the author", I know I would have received that book very differently– definitely more positively and with much greater pleasure.
