they haven't discussed the creation of the ring.
You want to read the Simarillion for that.
And have fun, it's like the Book of Genesis, The Illiad and the Odyssey put together. And it's not very exciting.

For people who have read the entire series, does the LOTR trilogy take on a darker, more adult tone than the Hobbit? I was surprised as to how light the tone of the first half of the novel has been.
Not really. Tolkien was a kind hearted man and it shows in the work. Does it get darker? Yes. Does it become more ominous in tone? Not really. And this is mostly due to the presence of the hobbits, which is kind of the point.

the books are alot more anti war then the movies where, that was one of the biggest differences I think.

The Book of Genesis, The Illiad, and The Odyssey are all far more entertaining.
