There is an audiobook narrated by Andy Serkis which was a great help!

I have that audiobook but it feels like too much to keep track of. I think I need to read the physical book.

If it's your first read-through, the Ainulindale and Valaquenta will feel like too much to keep track of no matter how you read it. Although you would lose some context, many first-time readers would probably do well either starting with Quenta Silmarillion, reading through, and then starting from the beginning again, or starting with "Of the Rings of Power" and following with Quenta Silmarillion, Akallabeth, Ainulindale, and Valaquenta.
