I'd like to nuke most battle scenes in SF, fantasy and historical novels. They're usually boring. Still, I don't skim them, or very little.
I agree the Bombadil sequence was pretty pointless, but so are many other things in many other books. Not everything in books is straightforward plot, and I wouldn't want it to be. If all I wanted was the plot, I'd watch TV, not read.
