It seems to me that it takes at least two readings of the Silmarillion with at least one reading of LoTR before, between, and after that to get all the stuff in the Silmarillion sorted out.
Exactly the points I was trying to make above!


Of course everyone will be different but for younger folks [I was 13 or so when I first read the Silm - so I know!] a more staggered approach is certainly likely to be the more enjoyable.
