I'm rereading The LOTR but the extensive descriptions are irritating. I'm on The Two Towers now.
I skip all the songs.I was going to respond precisely that the second time I tried to read the LOTR saga I found the descriptions tiresome and unnecessary.
Fuck the songs. I never read them in any book. Context and lore my arse.I skip all the songs.
What other books have you read that have songs?Fuck the songs. I never read them in any book. Context and lore my arse.
Recently I read a book I actually really liked, La Hoja Roja of Miguel Delibes, which I think had poems or songs. Skipped them.What other books have you read that have songs?
I read it. I liked it better than LOTRwait till you get to Silmarillion
really? i barely got through it. what did you like about it?I read it. I liked it better than LOTR
It was a faster read because it felt like I was reading a quickened history text. I didn't need to remember every little thing just like I don't need to remember every event or person in a history book.really? i barely got through it. what did you like about it?
A hundred years of solitude?No. I grew up reading the books from the one known Colombian writer, because they are forced upon every child 10 or older, and they are so needlessly descriptive it's almost unbearable.
Yep. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.A hundred years of solitude?
I was considering reading that. Now I won't lolYep. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
