The boring is not really good, but once the tribes spilt, it get really good!

Do you mean the whole of The Gulag Archipelago? I've only been able to find 1st volumes of multi-volume sets, whether at the library or at bookstores. It's very engrossing, and I'd like to read the whole thing at some point in time.

Unfinished tales is very, very hard to read... You MUST have read silmarrillion before... I read everything in Swedish

Well, I'd say that Unfinished is actually easier, language-wise than the Silmarillion, especially the 2nd and 3rd age stories.
But eh, every single time I read about Tuor's journey in Unfinished, I am reduced to tears ;_; So beautiful.

Hehe. Narn i hin Hurin is the only story from which i REALLY need a break. 12 times in the Silmarillion topped with 5-6 times in the Unfinished tales. I actually ommited it during my last rereading.
But nonetheless, it's a very good story, one with a very classic, mythological feel to it. Tolkien did his homework very well indeed

Actually that he make kids whith he's sister 
The story of Turin is possibly my favorite part of the entire Tolkien mythos actually. Very very dark.

Well, you're in for a treat. The original Dune book is really something special, certainly one of my fondest sf memories. It's both surprisingly fresh and pleasant to read. And not as boring/stretched as some of the later parts.
EDIT: oh, and btw, after Hesse's short stories I moved on to his "Narcissus and Goldmund". I am reading it for the first time, and my thoughts are basically "why did it take me so long"
