The Children of Húrin

The Children of Húrin is one of the many works of JRR Tolkien to be published posthumously. It details the life of Túrin Turambar, as well as his father, mother, and sister, including the sack of Nargothrond and the defeat of Glaurung. Which, in essence, means that it is about 320 pages of both Húrin and Túrin whining about how much their life sucks. To be fair, it does suck, but that doesn't mean that they have to whine that much about it.
