Actrually, this is one of the reasons I loved Tolkien's world from the get-go.... I think this pattern is also consistent with Tolkien himself.
Besides mythology and literature and languages, I seem to recall that Tolkien's chief delights were gardening, hiking, family, pipeweed, food and drink. He also loved the seashore.
He did not seem to enjoy the typewriter (a trait I share.)
He often rode a bicycle. Although he had to get to the seashore by some modern mode of transportation, I do not think he was fond of the automobile.
