To be fair The Silmarilion is a pretty hard read. You've got no excuse when it comes to The Hobit though. That book was written for kids

Sillmarillion DOES require you to read it two-three times at least in order to connect everything.

The number od names is astounding. Tolkien spent 50 years on it and put a immense ammount of detail in it, so getting a clear picture of it all is not easy..

What? There's nothing wrong with it.
I'm not intending to offend it was a mere joke.

But I'm man enough to say I can read for myself but don't mind people reading for me!

Somehow I just want to try it again, not to prove anything you understand, just to get the feel of that battle with all the Balrogs...
