I have only read the Silmarillion once, quite recently. But I find my understanding of it has been supplemented greatly by reading the threads on this forum. Also, reading the Unfinished Tales helps, since it expands on a number of the tales told in the Silmarillion, the Narn I Hin Hurin especially.
