Please go please go away nobody wants you here

/lit/ talks about Tolkien all the time

I personally like it very much but it objectively lacks a coherent narrative, it's like a series of "episodes" hastily put together by Christopher.

I love it. Not because it's a good book, not because it contains a coherent story, but because of its complexity.

I regard it as the manual to Tolkien's mind, and the intricate civilization he imagined when he closed his eyes.

OP here. It's one of my favourite books, but it has a lot of negatives.

Very.

If you like fairy tales and autism, read it, it's good.
