mr. waifu Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Does anyone read his books? I really love his work! He is probably the best author in the world! But his first book, the Silmarillion, I don't really get it. But besides that I love his work. Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delibirb Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxgsxaFWWHQ Most of this stuff is from the Silmarillion. Not a fan of reading fantasy novels, with limited exceptions. But he is a very good worldcrafter, which is what I do like about the LotR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr. waifu Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Thx I have actually seen it before, but I just don't understand what is happening in the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thar Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Thx I have actually seen it before, but I just don't understand what is happening in the book. It's basically the bible of Middle Earth. It's more like a history book than a plot-driven novel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~~~~ Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 lel I'm pretty sure you mean J. R. R. Tolkien then. Also Silmarillion is the best of his works imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♪ ♪Aria ♪ ♪ Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 His greatest and most intriguing character to me is Sauron........with the menacing single red eye.......Reading "Two Towers" is definitely an adventure of sorts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryusei the Morning Star Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 That's not even what's Sauron looks like. Atleast not for most of his life. The eye was likely metaphorical http://imgur.com/gallery/7fkr1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♪ ♪Aria ♪ ♪ Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Books possesses quality and enchantment in the Middle Earth, making a complete saga that expands from 6 series.....The story is quite interesting, starting from the peaceful Shire, to more dangerous areas, until Mordor, land of the evil....And one of the main point of interest is that the Ring can control people's mind, and can be considered the true villain....One of the strange thing is the Ghost Wraiths, since one of them actually died after being stabbed with a sword, even thought they are undead.....Aside from books, I've watched all of the movies and it is filled with action and adventure....

~~~~ Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 To anyone who has read Lord of the RIngs, I strongly recommend The Silmarillion. It is somewhat different from LotR and The Hobbit, with the main story being set over 400 years of war. It also details the creation myth of Middle Earth. It is one of only a few books to have made me cry. It is more difficult to read than LotR even however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
