      Right??? I’ve loved Tolkien since I was a kid. I’ve tried to read silmarillion several times and I swear my eyes just glaze over due to how pervasively stilted and baroque the language is.

        If it ain’t baroque, don’t fix it.

        most of the time i fall asleep when being read to too.

        also, i made it through (with the occasional nap with the book in my face), i just cant recall much of it but i cant really either from having read the first book of the old testament…

        it’s a good thing i started with lotr instead

      Here’s a little treat for you

      The BBC radio dramatization of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy

      I myself like that they kept most of the things the Peter Jackson movies left out, like the absurd amount of musical loredumps in the text.

        my dude, the lord of the ring doesnt require watering it down with dramatization.

        the silmarillion, on the other hand, could become much more accessible

          I don’t feel that it is watering anything down. They are very faithful to the books
