Start with Hobbit (I seem to be quoting almost everyone here). The LOTR is a drag to complete - got over that ordeal years back - since it goes into details, and basically sketches the entire journey, the outcomes, the battles et al. And in any case, The Hobbit is more 'light', and considerably more humorous and smaller than the rest.

How you bore me, Florrie,
With those eyes of vacant blue;
You'll be very sorry, Florrie
If I marry you.
Though I'm easy-goin', Florrie,
This I swear is true,
I'll throw you down a quarry, Florrie,
If I marry you. - Saki.
