I would suggest tackling The Silmarillion next, Peregrin. It will give you alot of the history and background referred to in LOTR. After that, Unfinished Tales or the Histories of Middle-Earth. For some 'lighter' reads, try Tolkien's shorter works, such as Leaf by Niggle, Farmer Giles of Ham, or Smith of Wooton Major. Have fun! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
