1Possible duplicate of In what order should Tolkien's writings on Middle-earth be read?– Jason BakerCommented Sep 19, 2016 at 11:37

@JasonBaker I can see the connections but I would argue this question is different. This is not a recommended reading order for most readers, which is what that question clearly states ("from scratch"). This one is about finding fictional elements from quite dry literary references and ordering them in an in-universe chronology.– Bob TwayCommented Sep 19, 2016 at 12:16

1I've edited your question to make it more clearly about chronological order rather than suggested reading order like the previous question that Jason linked to, and am voting to leave it open since the two are quite different.– Rand al'Thor ♦Commented Sep 19, 2016 at 13:44

The Silmarillion starts with the creation of the world and ends with the final events of the Lord of the Rings. Where is that going to fit in a chronological reading order?– DJClayworthCommented Sep 19, 2016 at 20:26

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
