LOTR is occuping my brain and attempting to take over my muses!

In other news, I finished FOTR.

I never want to read it again. Ever.

God. That was...

I'll read TT and ROTK, for the movies' sakes, but I'm pretty sure that I'll never want to read them again, either.

I hate Tolkien's writing style.

I can re-read WOT, but not this.

Because...

Evil.

I'm glad it's not just me. I haven't even gotten very far, and I pretty much glossed over the prologue about hobbits. I knew there was a reason I never read these before.

It's baaaaaaaaaaaad.

I mena, I've heard so many good things about it, too.

But it's not good. Tolkien had some good ideas but really sucked at presentation.

I always feel slightly guilty with I don't like what many people think is great literature. Like I'm shallow, or I just don't get it. I hate to admit that I've never been able to get all the way through Wuthering Heights. But I *am* going to read the entire LotR series. Yes. I am.

I know. I'm going to read it all too.

But after that, I really never want to read it again.
