He's got a point.
I'd also highly recommend the Chapter By Chapter discussions here in the Books forum. You'll get a variety of opinions and observations, and you may see LOTR itself in a while new light.
I read Hobbit & LOTR numerous times (I'll guess 9 for LOTR, more for Hobbit) before the Sil even came out. There's plenty to absorb, and there's no need to rush ahead-- unless you just can't wait.
