Silmaril

There was only one section in which I found the Silmarillion to be confusing, and that is during The Lays of Beleriand. I finally understood the descriptions after hours of studying the map, however. Otherwise, I don't see how it could be so confusing. I have to agree with réd on this one... of course, I can only speak for myself, because I seem to understand the concepts and details of literature and fictional civilizations more easily than many.
