How does /lit/ feel about The Silmarillion?
Despite its convolution, rather dry writing at times, and ostensible literary faults, the story of the Noldor is clearly the best, yes?

/lit/ talks about Tolkien all the time
>>7828234
I personally like it very much but it objectively lacks a coherent narrative, it's like a series of "episodes" hastily put together by Christopher.

I love it. Not because it's a good book, not because it contains a coherent story, but because of its complexity.
I regard it as the manual to Tolkien's mind, and the intricate civilization he imagined when he closed his eyes.

Anon made a thread about the negatives while making it appear like the opposite though

OP here. It's one of my favourite books, but it has a lot of negatives.

Very.
If you like fairy tales and autism, read it, it's good.
