As much as I love the LotR [especially the chapters in Lothlorien, Rivendell and with Gildor, the later writings of JRRT, found mostly in UT, Morgoth's Ring, War of the Jewels, Peoples of Middle-Earth and to a lesser degree the Silmarillion itself, are my favorites. The richness of description, the depth and euphony and power of the writing kept increasing until he essentially ceased narrative writing and withdrew into primarily elvish historico-linguistic notes and filling in obscure corners of the Legendarium like Cirdan and Glorfindel and the Druedain.

Anyway the following link gives some ideas of what is in store for the reder of the latter writings of JRRT.

Enjoy!
