Do not forget the History of Middle Earth books:
1. Lost Tales 1
2. Lost Tales 2
3. The Lays of Beleriand
4. The Shaping of Middle Earth
5. The Lost Road and other Writings
6. The Return of the Shadow
7. The Treason of Isengard
8. The War of the Ring
9. Sauron Defeated: The End of the Third Age
10. Morgoth's Ring: The Later Silmarillion, Part One
11. The War of the Jewels: The Later Silmarillion, Part Two
12. The Peoples of Middle Earth

I've only read the 1st two of those so far...

No we that we have the list of Tolkien's books, it can also be found here.

He also wrote a children's book called "Roverandom" for his son after he lost his toy dog. It's about a dog's adventures after he is turned into a toy by a wizard he annoys. It's a very cute book.

The are several parts to the Book of Unfinished Tales.

And there's another book called "The Lays of Beleriand" that's all poetry.

This is a good thread. There's a bunch of books I haven't heard of being listed. I wonder, though, perhaps this should be in Novices and Newcomers? It would be great if a bunch of people new to Tolkien could hear about all of these.
