I also recommed Silmarillion, but (and this is just me) I read LotR a few (6) times before starting on Silm. Some of Tolkien's lighter works (Farmer Giles, Adventures of Tom Bombadil) are also good to get into after LotR. Unfinished Tales, which I haven't read much of yet, would be a good post-Silm choice.
