To be perfectly honest I hated The Hobbit with a passion. I thought it was horribly written and a logic fail.Freakzilla wrote:No but it piqued my interest enough to make it through LotR.Redstar wrote:I've read it, and it is easier. But I certainly don't consider it as worthy a read.
More than: Why didn't the eagles just fly Frodo over Mount Doom so he could just drop the ring in?Redstar wrote:To be perfectly honest I hated The Hobbit with a passion.

The obvious reason: the Nazgul and their winged beasts.Freakzilla wrote:More than: Why didn't the eagles just fly Frodo over Mount Doom so he could just drop the ring in?

The beginning is slow, but trust me, LoTR is one of the best stories ever written in any genre. Once you make it into The Two Towers you'll be hooked for life.Redstar wrote:LotR is pretty unreadable, in my opinion. I waded through the first 200 pages before they even got to the Council of Elrond... I'm still meaning to pick up from there.GamePlayer wrote:But I've pretty much stuck to my bare minimum three, which I recommend to almost everyone with whom I have a rapport of some kind:
If you read only one sci-fi book, it should be Dune.
If you read only one fantasy book, it should be Lord of the Rings.
If you read only one comic book, it should be Watchmen.
I've read the other two, and glad I have. Watchmen is the only graphic novel I've read, and though I have have read a few comic books, they're really not my thing. And Dune is a great science-fiction book, but I don't think I'd personally recommend it as the sole representation of the genre.
No shit. I don't think that would have went well.GamePlayer wrote:The obvious reason: the Nazgul and their winged beasts.Freakzilla wrote:More than: Why didn't the eagles just fly Frodo over Mount Doom so he could just drop the ring in?
