Gollum I'm having trouble reading the Silmarillion

(Sorry if this is the wrong place for this thread... )

OK, so here's the deal - I've heard a lot about The Silmarillion, and I would very very, VERY much like to read it. What I've heard about it sounds fastinating, and I would love to learn more about Middle-earth.

So I got it from a library a few weeks ago, and tried to read it. I couldn't. I got lost on the first page and gave it up after the second. I tried it again recently - no go. I just can't wade through. Beowulf? No biggie. Jane Austen? No trouble. Silmarillion? I can't make it.

But I'm still definately interested in the story - what do I do?
