I would also recommend reading Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien as compiled and edited by Humprey Carpenter.
Auxilliary texts of interest:
Carpenter's J. R. R. Tolkien: A Biography
Tom Shippey's J. R. R. Tolkien: Author of the Century (don't be too put off by the hyperbole).
Not necessarily related to ME but interesting Tolkien works:
Tree and Leaf: Comprising Leaf By Niggle and On Fairy-Stories.
Smith of Wootton Major.
Farmer Giles of Ham.
