When you feel anxiety or fear because of what’s happening, what thoughts do you turn to for hope / to comfort yourself?

Hey Bill! Enormous fan of all your work, it’s amazing you’re doing an LOTR podcast.

What advice would you give to someone who wants to read the Silmarillion but has heard it’s hard to get through? i.e. is there a way of thinking about it that helps a reader see what makes it valuable, chapters you should skip, a juicy tidbit that happens later on that is totally worth getting through to read about, etc? thanks!!
