I just got the Silmarillion. How long will it take for me to read? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I've read it through totally twice--once when it first came out, and once this past year. It was slow reading both times. And there are still many details which go flying out of my mind. The time when it really sinks in is if I look up something for a specific purpose. It might be for an RPG or to answer question on this board or to compare it with something in HoMe. That's when the stories and characters really sink in.
