LOTR starts very slowly for modern tastes. If you try again, you might skip (in Fellowship) straight to Bree (Fellowship, Book One, Chapter 9), or even to Rivendell (Fellowship, Book Two, Chapter One), and go from there. (I know, that skips Tom Bombadil.) I also find the Mordor bits (ROTK, Book Six, Chapters 1-3) hard to read. They are rewarding in the end. If you ended up loving the book, you could go back and read the parts you had missed.
The Silmarillion is much harder to read. I’m a Tolkien fan, and I have trouble with it. It’s written very differently – more like a history and less like story-telling.
The Hobbit is relatively easy, being written as a juvenile. I don’t think it’s necessary to read it before LOTR, though I usually do. (I’ve reread The Hobbit and LOTR many times.)
