As for difficulty with reading The Silmarillion, I would suggest reading it through once, and not worrying if you can keep everyone straight, or knowing exactly what is going on. I suggest that you just read it, and get the feel of it - the beauty of the language. The Silmarillion is prose poetry, and it saddens me a great deal when people concentrate so much on details that they miss the forest for the trees. You may have finished LotR, but I assure you, your journeys in Middle Earth (and Arda) have just begun. Happy trails, ~Percy
