Man I've seen more "don't read/boring" than endorsements.
Maybe I'll own up and suggest we watch the movies together? Win-win. --- http://i.imgur.com/M489ly5.jpg the White-Sounding Black Chick ... Copied to Clipboard!

Man I've seen more "don't read/boring" than endorsements. I think that would be more enjoyable. The films were good. If you want extra points you could do the extended editions--but they're like 6 hours each. Tolkien just has his own writing style that's not for everyone. The actual story and lore is neat and where a lot of modern fantasy shares roots. I've tried his books at different points and they are still not for me. --- Never write off the Doctor! ...

IIRC the prose of the books got torn apart by critics when they were first published, they didn't really build up a following til later, mostly due to the world building which was probably Tolkien's biggest passion (except for language).
The movies first is definitely a good idea. I tried to read LotR when I was young but didn't get into it until I saw the films, at which point I tore through them like cheap toilet paper. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

That's p much how I got into ASoIaF. Sped-watched the first three seasons and was desperate for more storytelling and lore. OmegaTomHank posted...

I mean if you wanna read LotR then do it but any potential partner who would only be impressed if you read it probably isn't worth it. It's a bit of a commitment.

Tolkien's son critisized the movies as action flicks for teenagers, which they are.
Tolkien was a professor of Anglo Saxon history and mythology. He wanted to take these desperate stories and mythologies and unite them into a single form. He also wanted to make the elven language, and felt he needed a culture to go along with it. He was a giant nerd. If you like them though I recommend The Wheel of Time Series by Robert Jordan. He took a lot of the themes of how mythology, stories, and history interact with each other. But Where Tolkien was an academic, Jordan's primary goal was to tell a good fantasy story. Its also technically sci Fi because it takes place in the extremely distant future --- The ending of the word is ALMSIVI ... Copied to Clipboard!
