Humans can't feel "comfy". It's a property of the comfort provider, not the one experiencing the comfort.

But I fully expect this kind of childish mistake from someone who wastes their time with genre fiction.

Why would you detest what others read?
If you’re not fond of some work, just ignore it or write what you didn’t like about it.
If you find it interesting, add it to the reading list, or if you have already read it, write a positive thing or two about it.

Insulting the reader is the least-productive thing you could do.

i read it when i was 12-13 years old (starting with the hobbit as one should).. I liked it immensely. Sometimes I wonder if I should re-read the whole thing, but I’m afraid I wouldn’t like it that much anymore.
I think Gandalf should be more powerful, but at the same time be only a side-character. Also, at least one of the hobbits should die.
The romantic chapter(s) about Faramir and that blond girl from Rohan were also very "comfy", maybe because I don’t usually read romance.

It's probably the only book I've read in my teens, 20s, and 30s and felt an actual sense of wonder and joy every single time. The only book I'd genuinely call timeless.

What romantic chapters between Eowyn and Faramir? I know they went to go live with each other and rule over Ithilien but I don't remember any substantial writing about them at all.

so why a smart person such as yourself is on a board which is dominated by fiction. Why are you even on 4chan itself?

Answer: Because you are not a smart person. Because you just copy ideas you heard or read somewhere without understanding the essence of those ideas. You are no better than the people who post pictures with quotes on them.

This actually. I've read it first in my early teens, reread soon after, read it again for the first time in English few years ago, and it's still perfect. Time stops and blitzes past as I plunge into it.

Read it as a young teen (along with the Hobbit, naturally) and loved it.

Rather than rereading as an adult, I decided to read the Silmarillion, and am currently about 2/3 in. It's wonderful, I didn't expect I'd enjoy it as much as I have and it's convinced me to dive back into LotR and the Hobbit in the next year or so.
