Thanks, been 40 years since I read it. He's backstory. The Silmarillion was mostly backstory, is almost 500 pages, and people read that. They can stand a few pages on Tom Bombadil in their adventure story. And he's so singularly interesting, that I remember him particularly. After 40 years. With no help from the movie industry for sure.
