Hey I finally got the Silm from the library yesterday and I'm on page 11 (well I read the whole preface thingy which took a while) and I found that if you stop after every few pages and just quickly summarize what Tolkien was saying (like break it down into normal language), it really helps. Otherwise you get lost in all the choppy sentences and long words.
