Jesus Christ it felt like I had to force myself to read it a few times. I appreciate the fact that it's a big sprawling world that has been created with shitloads of detail but goddamn I came to discover that this style of writing definetely isn't my cup of tea

What did you think of the books? Did they feel like a chore to read for you too?

the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
I read the first three pages of The Hobbit.

I read the Hobbit and Fellowship in middle school and decided I didn't like it as much as the movies so I never read any more. I was in a huge LOTR kick a couple weeks ago and bought the Hobbit, got about 50 pages in and haven't picked it back up since classes started up again.

Most people I've talked to would agree with you. Id like to at least finish the Hobbit before I judge them but idk if I ever will.

If you know, you know.
Read about half of the first book but then got distracted by something else. Never came back and gave the book collection away to a friend.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
The Hobbit reads the same, I made it through to the end though it was a slog.

They're shit books.

Sure, the story they tell is cool and the worldbuilding is great but as books they're just boring.

Honestly, Tolkien is a fantastic at constructing his universe, but should have used another writer. His books are absolute slogs.

Excuse me, I'm full of dog poison
Absolute trash imo. I had to read that Tom bombadill part like six times before I got a clear picture of what was happening.

Love the movies but the books were god awful.

They say you are what you eat, but I don't remember eating mYsELF
I couldn't get into the LOTR books but I found the hobbit an easy read.
