To be honest (AND PLEASE DONT HATE ME) when reading the hobbit, it got boring it was so hard for me to picture what was going on in the story.

The movie was the same! >.<

the hobbit, despite being set pre-lord of the rings, biblo discovering the ring and all, does not have much to do with the trilogy.

yeah tolken made a lot more books that sort of branch off from lotr. the hobbit is just one of them. they're more like little stories about characters that are in the book but not the main characters. but i guess you would want to read the hobbit if you wanted to know how bilbo got the ring.

The hobbit is probably the best book in the series, i would reccomend reading it, just because its worth reading again.

I would read the Hobbit first. Thats how I did things. But it doesn't much matter because you'll still understand the Lord of the Rings without the Hobbit.

Quite.

But to better understand things you could read all of the Histories of Middle Earth and the Silmarillion.
