Are you kidding? The Silmarillion takes a little work, but at least it's comprehensible!
On the topic, I've just read the most excellent "A Hat Full of Sky", the latest book by Terry Pratchett (and a follow up to The Wee Free Men).
As I may have mentioned before
it's a "book for children", not a "children's book" and is *entirely* worth a read. It's funny, clever, not patronising and very *very* well written.
