Not only that it contains the creation myth of ME.

but you are right 50.36.73.103 it is near impossible to sumarize the silmarillion however a dictionary is not necessary unless you are reading the books of lost tales which go into even more detail than the silmarillion.

How can people read Harry Potter so fast!?!? It took me almost a whole year to read, granted I was in 4th gade when I read it, and was super stupid.
