ha! I also started Tolkien with The Two Towers, though in my case it's because that was what the library had at the time. Worked out alright except for a lot of confusion over who Saruman was for the first half of the book.
I started Tolkien with the Silmarillion. This wasn't because I am hardcore but because I didn't own any, and the boyfriend I had moved in with at the time had a copy of Silm, but not any other Tolkien, for some reason (I think he got it from his dad). I remember liking bits of it but feeling very lost until I finally read LOtR a few years later.
