So my wife loves the LOTR books, loves the movies.. she loves to read. I picked her up for christmas :
The Silmarillion
The History of Middle Earth
Unfinished Tales of Numenor and Middle Earth
Any idea if these are good and if she will like them?

I like both the books and the movies, and found Silmarillion dull as hell.

I'd hard to know if people will like them or not. I loved the Silmarlion, but I'll acknowledge it's a hard read because the sheer amount of names/places and it's odd (non-existent) pacing.
Tell her it's more like a wordy encyclopedia rather than a Novel. Great source of material and small stories, but it's not really a comprehensive story on it's own.
