Finished the Silmarillion, things still bother me though. - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I just have a quick question that maybe one of the B-D elders can answer. It is related.

About how many times do you need to read the Silmarillion until you are educated enough in it to make wonderful responses like many of the people here? I have only read it through once like Helka, so you can definitely tell that I am not totally educated in it. All I need is a number, just a simple response.

I found that while reading the book that the actually reading level was not completely diffcult, but that the vastness of the novel was just hard to grasp for me.
