LotR: Not as good as the movies

I don't know about anyone else, but I found JRR Tolkien's book really dull and reading it was a real chore.  Big props to Peter Jackson for turning it into a highly watchable trilogy.

the only reason tolkien started writing the book of lost tales is because he wanted to read the kind of shit that he liked, he wasnt a skilled writer so he just wrote it the way he wanted to read it.  He didnt give a fuck if the other readers could understand it.
