I've always had the same reaction! I always thought it was because I like to read about how authors create their works, and somehow for Tolkien that was far more interesting than his own writing or what other authors said about their own creative processes.
Not with every writer for me - but I prefer non-fiction and sci-fi writings.
Had experience that fiction of some writers - is more interesting than their memoirs, notes, literary research.
Especially Russians.
Personalities, personal experiences, times - depends.
Still wirings though.
