I am currently halfway through The fellowship of the Ring, and am finding it boring and really slow (doesn’t help that I’ve been reading it for 4 months), I started reading it cause I read that it was similar to dune and I loved that book, but so far I have not found the similarities and can’t seem to get into it.
Also The lord of the rings movies are considered one of the best movies of all time so I always feel like that experience would be comparable to reading the book.
Not to me; I literally can’t put them down (which becomes something of a problem with a story that long!). On the other hand, Dune is the most sleep-inducing audiobook I’ve ever had the misfortune to force myself to finish, so maybe liking one suggests you won’t like the other?
I second skipping Tom Bombadil if you’re struggling; he seems to trip up a lot of people.
