Don't worry, Saucepan, I did the same thing. After I finished LotR, I started looking in the library for new Tolkien material. One of the first books I found was the Silmarillion. I was in the Third Grade at the time, so after reading the first two or three pages, I realized that this book just wasn't for me. Ever since then, I've always had an odd image of the Great Lamps in my head when I think of the Silmarillion in general. About two years later, I picked the book back up and I've read it three times since.
