I think the Lord of the Rings books get better as they go. The Hobbit isn't too bad.

The Silmarillion, though... it puts me to sleep faster than... uhh, something that would put me to sleep fast.

isn't the silmarillion kind of like a condensed verson of the whole history of middle earth
i've only read some parts of the books, but they seem to be repeated and the same as silmarillion, just with more information and some writing from christopher about the his father unfinished writing. is that right?

It is basically a condensed history of middle earth, yes. A few of the chapters are okay, but a lot of it reads like the Old Testament.
