The magic in the Silmarillon is that it's not a clean cut story but what looks like tids and bits from ancient times, a mix of lore and oral tradition. Hard to read indeed but after you enjoy even more reading the Hobbit and LoR ;)
Low wage first year internship @ my business school (as well as mandatory French military duty) brought me 'knowledge'. What you do with knowledge is another matter. For me it brought humanity in my business decisions. For people I know, well, they went to finance and sucked the world dry anyway :S
Another brick and mortar company killed by low cost internet. What saddens me is the loss of local, low education needed jobs : those are my neighbors' jobs...
