Save the Silmarillion, the Lost Tales and all of the other histories until after you have read the Hobbit and LOTR.
It's difficult to appreciate them without first having the more fully realized stories. The reason they are a little bit harder to read isn't so much that they are just dry, it's that they stories and notes that Tolkien had that he never finished writing. His son brought them together the best he could.
