the rings or something

By david On April 12th, 2005

i have a confession to make: i think the lord of the rings books are incredibly boring and laborious to read. i’m sorry if this offends you, but maybe you offend me by claiming these are literary jewels. i do think it’s impressive that tolkien invented several languages. i don’t think his storytelling is impressive. you would think that hanging out with c.s. lewis all that time would maybe rub off on him and make him a better writer. and if you’re wondering, i have actually tried to read and enjoy these books more than a few times. feel free to crucify me now. but i rest easy knowing i’m not alone in these thoughts.
