Pick ME! I read it a few years ago, its def. good, but kinda hard to follow at points. Good book for the history of the hobbit folk!

the parts that were the most confusing to me were visualizing the different kingdows of the elves in the first age and the geography of Beleriand

I will be honest here... The first 100 pages of the Silmarillion I wanted to shoot myself. So much loong detail and description and explanation... definitely confusing! But when it gets to Turin and Beren&Luthien and that stuff, I like it from there.

Agreed.
Yeah, I though that was really funny how he hardly even mentions the Fellowship, and makes it look so insignificant.

I don't remember how I found this, but it's kinda cool if you're a Tolkein fan:

I love the Silmarillion it's one of my favorite books. It's beautiful, but it is definitely biblical. Read it again and again. It's so awesome, definitely inspires me to be a writer.
