They're outstanding books, if you enjoyed LotR – beware, though, that the Hobbit is a bit more childish and Silmarillion is somewhat disjointed if taken as a single story (it's more of a collection of different stories)

Great! I'll start on them when I finish the Worldwalker series that I'm reading right now. Which should I read first?

IMO, start with The Hobbit, that way you can get a better look into Tolkien's mind before plunging into his legendarium.

Oop! Too late. I started The Silmarillion last night!

Haha, I hope you enjoy it. Good reading!
