/lit/ - Literature

Just bought the complete set of Lord of the rings from a yard sale. I got The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings complete, and the Simarillion. I've been reading these fat mother fuckers for about a week. Pretty good shit. Any advice on how to read these tho? I'm having difficulty keeping track of all the characters names and events.
