This is ENWorld. Someone is going to say they read the Silmarillion first and were passionate about it and that's what led them to what they view at JRRT's lesser works after that.In fairness, no one cares about the lore of a world to begin with. No one read the Similarian until after they fell in love with The Lord of the Rings.
