If you want to focus on Middle Earth, I recommend 'Tolkien: Artist and Illustrator' edited by Hofstetter with loads of commentary about Tolkien's life.

I don't have 'Visualizing..' but have read many of MM's Suite 101 essays...enough to know that I don't really want his book.

I have heard good things about 'Author of the Century' but have not read it.

Non-Tolkien? I very much enjoyed David Brin's two Uplift Trilogies. The first consists of 'Sundiver', 'Startide Rising' and 'The Uplift War'. Very creative writing.
