It's not the same! You gotta read it word by word to suck up every bit and digest it properly!

I might try again later this year

FOTR is a hard book to read honestly

I don't blame you for wanting to stop it in the middle. I believe it is the kind of book that gets better on the second reading, because when reading 5 pages that feel like fluff, you realize that they are actually setting up something.

I didn't even want to start it. Hope you feel better.

This might have been asked earlier but i'm too lazy to check

What do you guys think of Amazon making the new LotR tv show?

Tungro · February 27, 2019, 12:46:45 AM

I will wait and see...

The Skarzs · February 27, 2019, 01:06:39 AM

Mixed feelings. I really really want a show made, but I want it done right.

Exactly my thoughts on the subject!

Who are your guy's top ten favorite lotr characters and why?

Tungro · February 27, 2019, 07:05:41 PM

That is a tough one, I will have to think about it. In the books or the movies, cuz Cellaborn(?) was lame in the movie and good in the book.

*Glorfindel, because... I've read some really cool fanfictions with him and, in them, he has a fantastic sense of humour. (that and he's the perfect target for pranks)
*Halbarad, because, again, there are some cool fanfictions about him and because he's a very minor character that most people don't care about.
**Elladan and Elrohir, because of their close sibling relationship and the fact that they actually care about humans, which I appreciate. (and 'cause of fanfictions)
*Erestor because he's a scholar and would be able to tell me lots of stories. (if I spoke Sindarin fluently, which I don't)
*Lindir because he writes songs and looks after horses, both qualities I respect in a beast.
*Radagast (spelling?) because he's... well, himself.
*Namo, because I have to involve at least one of the Valar in this list and she's the only one I can remember the name of. (Plus she was generally quite a nice person and there's a really cool quote involving her)
*Eru, because he created Middle-Earth, Valinor and everything else within that world.
*Durin, because there is a really cool song about him.

*is pleased that I managed to list ten characters without choosing the 'typical' ones*
