Best trilogy ever.

>>	Anonymous Sun Apr 4 14:12:08 2010 No.515415 It's sad that fantasy is shit tier

>>	Anonymous Sun Apr 4 14:13:08 2010 No.515424 It's not even a trilogy you fucking retard. It's a hexology

>>	Anonymous Sun Apr 4 14:15:08 2010 No.515430 I'm actually trying to read this right now. Fellowship of the Rings is sitting right next to me as I type this. It's just so fucking boring. "hurp durp hobbit backstory for 70 pages"

>>	Anonymous Sun Apr 4 14:33:08 2010 No.515523 >>515430 The problem is that the fantasy genre has advanced tremendously since LotR. If LotR was published now, it probably wouldn't be well received because what a reader expects from a fantasy book has shifted.

>>	Anonymous Sun Apr 4 14:38:08 2010 No.515549 Tolkien didn't write LotR for classical literature cocksuckers. I know it sounds tough, when you talk shit about fantasy in front of other highschool maggots, but you are pathetic and i would bet you know it.

>>	Anonymous Sun Apr 4 14:40:08 2010 No.515555 >>515549 Tolkien himself was a "classical literature cocksucker".

>>	Anonymous Sun Apr 4 14:44:08 2010 No.515567 And what about Narnia? Is it better than LotR?

>>	Anonymous Sun Apr 4 14:51:08 2010 No.515584 >>515567 Not a trilogy. And not better, although good.
