Hi Marlowe! I also read LOTR for the first time when I was nine. And I also reread it aproximately once a year ever since! I haven't read the Unfinished Tales either, and neither did a lot of Downers, so don't worry about that!

Welcome Marlowe. Don't worry about not having read everything. Don't worry about not having read everything - I haven't read all of the History of ME and virtually nothing not ME related by Tolkien.

I heartily reccomend Unfinished Tales though even though it is fragmentary. Much concerns LOTR rather than the Silmarillion and if you want to know more about Wizargs, Palantiri, the battles of the Fords of Isen and Numenore you are i n for a treat.
