Reply to comment by Normalthrowerway in Just finished my first reading of the Silmarillion and wanted to share some of my favorite passages with all of you by JoltinJoeDimaggio

Thanks for engaging, thought you were trolling.

You're in a Tolkien fan group. Of course people are going to disagree with you. I did find the Sil difficult, but didn't find it tedious - I found it heartbreaking, but (spoiler alert!) that's the fate of Arda marred.

I give props to everyone who can enjoy it, I read part of it for a class and it’s not for me

Fair play. But a word to the wise. If you're in a place of worship, don't start telling everyone that their Holy Book is unreadable garbage - even if to you it is. You'll find you'll get some backlash. :o)

Edit: wrong sub! 😂
