The history of middle Earth books are even heavier going, but still, it's kind of interesting to see how Tolkien's work developed and yeah, reading it in bed for 30 minutes at a go is about right and it sure helps me goto sleep..
I've read The Silmarillion. While I did finish it, I found it to be a dreadful bore and a waste of time.
