Boring - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I agree that the first part of FOTR was a bit boring, but after my second read I began to admire him JRRT for that.

Tolkien is a writer who doesn't just write anything and leave it as it is. He is a writer of meticulous details.

In LOTR, it is important to note that he was trying (and has succeeded in) conveying the background of everything that was to be known about the Shire at that present time.

With all courtesies, I formally welcome patriarch_nova7 the BD [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
