This was me when I first started, confused by the names and words I was unfamiliar with...
Me when I finished reading the chapter "Of Beren and Lúthien," which was so brilliant that I had to read again today after I finished the book...
My feelings toward the great J. R. R. Tolkien and his books right now...
I suggest you read the book, of course (which includes The Hobbit and the three Lord of the Rings books if you have not read them already). But, I'm not a cop, just an OP, so you really don't have to listen to me.

Have you heard of Corey Olsen? His silmarilion seminar helped me through the book http://tolkienprofessor.com/wp/

If you enjoy reading something that reads like a Bible you will enjoy this book.

I've read that book! My favorite is still The Hobbit.

Same here! Bilbo is my favorite character in the whole saga.

Beren and Luthien are written on Tolkien and his wife's tombstones. It's really sweet.
