I needed a break from space opera's so I bought these 6 books:

The Hobbit
The Silmarillion
The Children of Hurin
The Fellowship of the Ring
The Two Towers
The Return of the King

Is there any specific order I should read these in? I assume Hobbit -> Fellow -> Two Towers -> Return of the King, wherein would be the best place to read The Silmarillion and The Children of Hurin?

e:

quote:

1. The Hobbit
2. The Lord of the Rings
3. The Silmarillion
4. The Children of Hurin
5. Unfinished Tales of Numenor and Middle Earth
6. The History of Middle Earth (all books in order)

^ That was on the first page, but saw no discussion about it. Is that a good reading order?
