But I don't plan to read the LOTR series... even though I like the Hobbit, one fantasy book at a time will be enough for me.

The Hobbit is really a children's story. It's much more like a fairy tale and is a lower reading level than the Lord of the Rings, which is a bit more dark and gory (but not as much as the movie, in my opinion).
