Cweam_Cake hmm what's the fifth one simillarion about? I stopped reading it cause imagine this: It is like the text book. You see Dialogue like every 10 pages. It is about how Melkor and the Other Elven gods did stuff and about the Sons of Feanor.

Meh, it depends on the person. I personally preferred the movies MUCH more but I made it through the books. After all there would be no movies without the books.

I've only just read the books this year. I tried to read them once when I was younger & couldn't understand them. I still had difficulty when I read them though lolz. I've only read the trilogy & The Hobbit.

I have all 5 books, Thr lord of the Rings trilogy, The Hobbit, The Silmarillion. I've read them all of course. But the Silmarillion was kinda hard to get through but I managed it...

I've noticed as movies get more popular the books are less common.

There are six books, really - don't forget Unfinished Tales! smile
And Lord of the Rings is actually one of the most popular books in modern history - and probably the number one best-selling fictional work EVER - with an estimated 150 million copies sold. The Hobbit is not far behind, either, at 100 million sales. The only books that have sold more than LotR are a bunch of religious and political tracts, the boy scouts' handbook, and A Tale of Two Cities (the only work of fiction on that list); The Hobbit is beat by a few more ideological tracts and Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None. The combined sales of LotR and The Hobbit handsomely beat everything but the Bible, the Quran and various works of Mao Zedong.
For a bit of perspective, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows has sold 44 million, Twilight 47 million, and The Da Vinci Code 80 million copies.
So, yeah. Tolkien is, all told, the most popular fiction writer in the world.

It seems that if anyone in my grade even knows what they are, they have never heard of The Silmarillion.
No one I have ever talked to knows what LotR means.

I'm still convinced I'm the only one who actually enjoyed the Silmarillion, more so than LotR or the Hobbit. :'3
