Does reading LOTR a few times kind of make you smarter or wiser? I know that almost every book does. But is there something special you gain by reading it?
Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle.

Is it wise to read it before I even actually started reading LOTR?

If we stretch our definition of 'flashlight' far enough we could call the stars flashlights, too
