I tried to read it 6 months ago, but since I had only read the Hobbit and LOTR, I really didn't know much about the first age. Then I read some guides to Middle Earth and looked up some web sites. I reread the Silmarillion a few weeks ago and I love it! I think its as good or better that the LOTR. Keep checking the family trees and appedices at the back to make sure you know whats going on.
