QbaOner Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 ok i just finished reading the whole thing....in my opinion... overal...great literature....even though reading it was sometimes pain on the ass with all that old anglo-saxon (sp??) writing... but i think that's what made the book(s) so much better.... disslikes about the whole thing: 1. Legolas and Gimli... bearly mentioned.. i thought they would play a very important part, since they were 2 of the fellowship.... i mean i'd rather know more about them than Mery and Pippin....... 2. read number 1... 3. Sauron.......bearly mentioned :D ... i guess i'll have to wait for more about him till i read ' The Simarillion ' and i think thats it.... like i said... in my opinion....great books! its a must to read them at least once in your lifetime.... but anyways.. share your toughts about LOTR....and other JRR Tolkien books...

ASER1NE Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 bearly is actually spelt ' actually' the hobbit is also very very good The Simarillion is terribly boring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus of Nazareth Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 The Silmarillion is very good reading, though it has been a few years since I read through it. Actually, I haven't read anything related to The Lord of the Rings in around four or five years, and I no longer have my copies....which sucks because I refuse to buy a copy with images from the movie on it. The JRR Tolkien book consisting of letters is pretty good as guerilla literature, but I don't think I could actually sit and read it for long periods of time over the course of a week. The Hobbit is a great book, but it is oriented towards a younger audience, so I don't think I would enjoy it as much were I to read it now for the first time.

QbaOner Posted February 5, 2002 Author Share Posted February 5, 2002 im kinda lost about the first line of your reply.. but dont worry.. Polish people get confused very easily... ;) i've heard that 'Hobbit' is rather directed towards children than adults.... but still will read it.. just so i know more about Bilbo, Gollum and the rest of the pack... one question.. is there any books that go deeper into what happened to the characters after Sauron fell, or the appendix are it....?

Jesus of Nazareth Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 There are no Tolkien books, but I saw an advertisment when I saw The Fellowship of the Ring about a jackass who stole Middle Earth, and is writing a whole string of books.....

QbaOner Posted February 5, 2002 Author Share Posted February 5, 2002 hell yea that will be some fucked up shit..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus of Nazareth Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 I agree, it is fucked up. The ad marketed him as "mastering the world of which Tolkien gave a glimpse". Yet another demon piglet suckling at one of Satan's multiple cock heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QbaOner Posted February 5, 2002 Author Share Posted February 5, 2002 well i dont know how many tolkien fans will actually buy into reading his shit...... to me the way tolkien described middle earth was perfectly satisfying.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus of Nazareth Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 I don't think many of us have, motherfucker had around ten books, and I had never heard of him. Have no idea what his name was to this day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
