Where Next After The Sil ? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Of all of Tolkien's works, only six books are 'final' products:

Hobbit, FOTR, TT, ROTK, Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales. After this, the HoME series is largely a collection of scholarly works, essays and occasionally used background material. Even for the real die-hards it can be difficult reading at times.

The absolutely best story in the BoLT is the story of the downfall of Gondolin in the second volume. I highly recommend it.
