( book of lost tales 1,2, lays of belriand, shaping of middle earth, lost road and other writings, return of the shadow, treason of isengard, war of the ring, sauron defeated)

I would read the Silmarillion after The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Then I'd tackle the others in their numeric order, were I in need of more background info. Of course as I have not read HOME Volumes 3-12, others my have a better answer for you.
