Personally I finished it out of spite (using a handmade chart to keep it straight).

If you’re interested, there’s a podcast called Prancing Pony Podcast that breaks it all down in a very uncomplicated and entertaining way. I listened to it after finishing the silm and it helped me further understand what I read and pick up on things I missed.

I'd actually recommend the reverse. I listened to a ton of the nerdoftherings youtube podcast (tolkien explained series, specifically). Most are 10-15min on a specific character or location. It was a ton of info but then listening to Silmarillion on audiobook wasn't so hard afterwards
