The Silmarilion is hard for me to understand too. But I found a way to get through it. Try reading "A Reader's Guide to The Silmarilion" by Paul H. Kocher It tells the story in a way that I find easy to follow and plus it gives some backround about where Tolkien got all his ideas. Once I'm done with this I'm going to try and read the actuall Silmarilion again. I should do much better this time.
