i think it's reversed honestly. like beating off for literally 24hours on speed, on the fifth day of a water fast while someone is sticking acupuncture needles in your legs.

escapism?

Have a barbecue pool party and try not to think about it.

>>8943749
You move to the suburbs for your wife and kids and you secretly hate it there but it's better for their education and it's easier than fighting with your wife about moving.

Just give yourself your own study/office/library to escape to.

tolkien talks about nature so much because its really fucking important and cool. if you didnt have computers and artificial heat and had to get all your food from the woods you'd care about the wind direction too

>>8943650
you're probably right, every time hes describing the nature i feel it kinda hard to follow

>>8943641
>why does he describe the wind direction?

Post a passage that does this. Knowing tolkien, it is probably done so in a manner that make sense and is not obtrusive. One of his underrated strengths was being a master of immersion.

>i feel it kinda hard to follow

Never found this in my experience desu, and this is coming from someone who found passages in Blood Meridian semi hard to follow.

Their Dostoyevsky doesn't hold a candle to other translations, but I hear their C&P is ok.
Their Master and Margarita is atrocious.
Their Tolstoy is readable

>>8943424
Which Dostoyevsky versions did you read, anon? What exactly do you feel they're missing that other translations have?
