I just finished The Return of the King last night. I must say that overall the trilogy is very well-written, very detailed, and filled with some good messages. One thing I especially noted while reading the trilogy, and especially Return of the King, was that Tolkien wrote the books as if he were writing a script for a movie. He was that detailed. And then of course the timeline he gives in the huge appendix at the back of RotK was very helpful.
I think I would very much enjoy reading his books on the Lost Tales. Just reading some of his backstory info on the Numenoreans and other happenings after the land fell into the sea were VERY interesting. Of course I'm a history freak, so what else can I say?
