Not a silly question!!
HoME is the History of Middle Earth Series written by Christopher Tolkien (and available in all good bookshops!).
It deals with the history of how the Middle Earth stories were written, so contains a lot of interesting unpublished material early versions and rejected ideas. Essential only if you're a real Tolkien addict, the thing to move onto after the Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales.
