I finally finished J.R.R. Tolkien's epic saga "The Silmarillion" and now realize why so many people struggle with it...but oh man, was it incredible! Here are some tips for those looking to read it for the first time. The edition in this video is available at: https://www.amazon.com/Silmarillion-Illustrated-J-R-R-Tolkien/dp/0063280779/ Also, for in-depth explainer videos on everything Tolkien, check out @NerdoftheRings channel here on youtube. He does a phenomenal job of untangling all the various characters and concepts and I've been binging his content for the past couple of weeks as I read.
