Back when I was big in to Tolkien, and after having read the Hobbit, LotR, and the Silmarillion, I read Unfinished Tales and enjoyed that a lot. I would recommend that.

Here's an unnecessary picture (new camera) of the version I have:

Unfinished tales is actually part of 12 (yes, twelve) volumes that are the 'History of Middle Earth'. Tolkien passed away before finishing all volumes, so his son Christopher Tolkien finished collating the materials for the last volume or two...

Here's a link to one of the volumes, the others can be found here too...

The History of Middle-earth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Strange so many fans of his work seem not to know about these volumes...

I second Omega. Pick up A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin. There are 3 more that follow. Once you start you won't stop until they are all read and then you can wait for the 5th book like the rest of us.
