How can I simplify the depth, beauty, themes and story of The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion down for someone who has NO CONCEPTION of it? I tried reading excerpts of the Silmarillion to my fiancee and she was lost. She has no idea about the Rings or anything or how it all weaves together...She was lost with all the names and events....Is there any simple wiki or anything along those lines which simplifies it greatly?

She's interested and I want to break it down for her....
