This is gonna sound odd, but just stop. Put it down. Then go and read the Silmirilion. I wish i had done that. You will read it and think "What the hell?". And it will come slowly, but stick with it. And eventually you will adjust to it and start to love it. Then read the Lord of the Rings. And you will love that even more for it, plus you will be firmly in the JRRT style.
