Seriously now, how many people have actually read the LOTR books?

I read them in a single sitting on a drive to New York from southwest PA and back. Passenger of course im not chad enough to drive and read at the same time. It was a really really good read, but i did get very tired of the constant descriptions of the flowing green hills and towering mountains with a flower approximately 79 meters on the south face type writing.

Just listened through all the audiobooks while on a long hike. Really enjoyed the first and third book, the battle for Gondor was some of my favorite writing. What’s with the appendix though? Why list all these irrelevant lineages? It was kind of frustrating.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 28 19:28:00 2020 No.16466721 I don’t really see the point of reading novels adapted from Films.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 28 19:30:01 2020 No.16466741 Yes. Multiple times. It pairs well with the works >>16466413 recommends as well

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 28 19:38:46 2020 No.16466782 >>16466402 I pretended to have read the books in middle school and then some asian who actually did read them publicly proved I didn't by quizzing me on the plot. It was humiliating because and I have never spoken unless spoken to since

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 28 19:44:20 2020 No.16466816 >>16466402 Yes and if you haven't read the Silmarillion or Unfinished Tales you don't actually understand the Lord of the Rings.
