The first time I read the Sil, I stopped trying to keep track of the names and places about halfway through. However, I read UT and reread LOTR, then went back to the Sil, and understood everything. I still got some of the genealogies confused, but it was much easier the second time around. Hang in there and don't give up on an incredible piece of literature.
