The Children of Húrin by J.R.R. Tolkien.
Another book I bought a while back (April 2009), so it's time I got to it. I liked The Silmarillion and The Book of Lost Tales, although I didn't get into the long sequence of books that followed. But I think I heard that this was back to more narrative rather than textual analysis.
I think I paid more for this than for 99.5% of the ebooks I've bought: $10.86, back when it was available at Fictionwise. I probably shouldn't have done, as I could buy it now from Amazon for £5.99, about $9.
