Yes...I will certainly read it.
To answer the last poster, the book is called The Children of Hurin, and it is primarily the story of Turin Turambar, one of Tolkien's "great three" tales of the First Age of Middle Earth, long before the Lord of the Rings.
It was the most complete of Tolkien's early tales, and the constant unearthings of Tolkien's widespread manuscripts over the years has led his son and literary executor Christopher Tolkien to assemble a complete tale from the various writings and rewritings.
According to the Tolkien Estate - "The Children of Hurin is entirely in the author's words, apart from some very minor reworkings of a grammatical and stylistic nature"

He is dead, but it was unfinished. His son finished it.
I probably will. He was a great writer (even if I can't finish the Silmarillian to save my life).
