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 as fun as The Hobbit, not as mind-numbing as The Silmarrillion.
I liked them as much as Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever and they had more depth.
