should it be read

If you really care about LOTR lore I guess.

It's not written like novel, more like a history book for fake history.

>>8460719
fake history is the best kind of history

oh wait all history is fake

How much do you like Tolkien?
I loved every second of it

>>8460748
he's pretty good imo, and i like to learn about the giganerd lore shit

>>8460719
Did you even read it? It's written like a history the Greeks might have written about their heroes or how the old testament was written, it's not at all similar to say the fake/real history of Gulag In or 2666.

In asking this you preclude yourself from any answer but no, you vulgar fuckwit.

The appeal of the Silmarillion is apparent to all who can appreciate it. Sadly too many fuckwits think of books as laurels, and pride themselves on drudging through the least accessible thing they can.

Die.

Not anymore. We have Herstory now, and spaces for marginalized voices in the traditionally white institution of the academy.

Pic related: the Ivory Tower is about to topple over, it's an object of ridicule, everyday people gather to watch and laugh, and this young woman tries to help but in the most ineffectual way possible. Meanwhile her parents wish she hadn't spent thousands of dollars on a trip to the Ivory Tower and had just gone into nursing instead.

I found it awful and unreadable. I like middle earth just fine, but I didn't want to read a random collection of notes about it.
