>ywn read LotR in its original language

>Toole submitted Dunces to publisher Simon & Schuster, where it reached editor Robert Gottlieb. Gottlieb considered Toole talented but felt his comic novel was essentially pointless. Despite several revisions, Gottlieb remained unsatisfied, and after the book was rejected by another literary figure, Hodding Carter Jr., Toole shelved the novel. Suffering from depression and feelings of persecution, Toole left home on a journey around the country. He stopped in Biloxi, Mississippi, ending his life by running a garden hose in from the exhaust of his car to the cabin. Some years later, his mother brought the manuscript of Dunces to the attention of novelist Walker Percy, who ushered the book into print. In 1981, Toole was posthumously awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.

How do I make money if I'm only good at coming up with ideas. I literally have a list of ideas but my writing is mediocre and I don't enjoy the craft.

>women look down on men who put a lot of work into their relationship
I know this from experience. It's so blackpilling, all I want to do is treat a good girl like a princess. Was this always something that was frowned upon? I've treated them like shit before and it made them much more attracted to me but I don't want to do that. I want to protect and take care of her.
