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.

I don't find battle scenes boring per se, but I usually end up wincing at the author's grasp of tactics... And don't get me started on descriptions of sword fighting.
