Touche John. Dr Sheldon Cooper would be pleased.
I am a Tolkien fan as well. Started reading the Hobbit & LOTR when I started high school. Tried to stick with the Silmarillion but gave it away until I had finished school.
For what it's worth, I try to treat the movies as an added bonus to the books. Changes have been made along the way but it would be very difficult to make the screen adaption flow if they stuck to the books layout.
The Hobbit trilogy might be a little too long for some, but it does pick up on a lot of points from the Silmarillion. The opening scenes are brilliant.
