Another alternative is to go 'backward', to read the history that comes before Lord of the rings. It will add to the depth and understandig. There is Silmarillion and all the material that Christopher Tolkien have published in History of Middle Earth. Some of it is rather difficult to read and understand, but a lot of it is very interesting.
It may feel sad, but after all, every written story has to come to an end.
