Yeah. LOTR really picks up after Fellowship, but I quite had my fill of hearing whether the path went left or right or up or down as they went on their journey. It's CHAPTERS of this. Even my friend who's a HUGE Tolkien fan was able to laugh about it once I pointed it out. It's a good, engaging story well told, but those first many chapters before he'd actually (by his own admission) come up with the story he wanted to tell are a grind.

If you wanted to recommend the good parts to someone who did not like his writing enough to ever get through the parts that seem like there is just nothing followed by slightly different nothing, where would you say to skip to in the books? Or where to start and where to stop?

It's been ages since I read it, but for Fellowship at least, the movie's skip from the immediate dangers as they leave the Shire and pretty much straight to Strider/Aragorn and then Rivendell is a good one. Rivendell is /late/ in the book but the plot actually picks up there.
