No; I read both The Hobbit and LOTR as a kid. I loved The Hobbit but did not really get the trilogy -- if memory serves I was mostly reading the trilogy to keep up with my friends rather than out of personal desire.
Over at Facebook today, an old friend is telling me I ought to read Silmarillion.

("as a kid" == pretty young. If memory serves I was less than 10 years old when I read The Hobbit, so about 30 years ago, and about 10 when I read LOTR. I may have reread The Hobbit once in high school, and I reread it last month; definitely have not touched the trilogy in the intervening years.)
