I have read, in this order:
*The Hobbit
*LotR
*Tree and Leaf (containing "on fairy-stories", "Leaf by Niggle", "Mythopoeia" and "the Homecoming of Beorhtnoth"
*The Silmarillion
*Tolkien's Biography by Humphrey Carpenter
*"Tolkien, author of the century" by Tom Shippey
* The letters of JRR Tolkien
* Unfinished Tales
* Tales from the perilous realm (have bought this recently, but not yet read)containing "Farmer Giles","The adventures of Tom Bombadil" and "Smith of Wootton Major"

and all this in the last 2 years...LotR several times, too! Have hardly read anything not Tolkien-related since then.
