I would also suggest reading the Silmarilion. It deals with the creation of the world, the 1st age, the 2nd age and the beginning of the 3rd age. Also, a lot of the relationships of the main characters involved in LoTR becomes much clearer then. And there is also another book dealing with middle earth, but this is edited by JRR Tolkins son and contains only text fragments. Unfortunatly, I don't know the exact english title. A tranlation of the german title wood be something like "news from middle earth"
