The Silmarillion reads much differently than most books; it zooms out to an epic scale, including pantheons with numerous names, only to zoom back in on individual scenes and short stories. It's a bit more challenging and something you need to be "in the mood for", but if you want depth and breadth in the Tolkien universe this is your next stop!
