HoMe also satisfies readers' curiosity in that it has extra text which follows on fromt he end of LotR but was not included, and Tolkien's attempts at a fourth age tale, so it's a kind of literary 'pudding' in a way. Gives you that little bit more.

Also if you're interested in background info on the nature of Elves etc you will find some fascinating stuff in HoMe. My fave volume is 10.
