I feel like I have to turn in my geek card, but...I don't think I like The Lord of the Rings. The prose is very...meandering. Lots of sentences and thoughts that seem to start and then peter out without having gone anywhere.
I know I'm a failure as a human being, but dammit I've tried a dozen times now and I just can't make it through. What am I doing wrong here?
