I hate LOTR! I’ve never heard anyone else say that. Thank you for making me feel less alone!

I made the mistake of reading the books before watching the movies. Say what you want about JRRT being a world building genius, the books are dull as shit. They are the most boring thing I’ve ever read. I was an avid reader at the time and ended up skipping large portions of the books to try to find any plot.

Of course that ruined any chance of me enjoying the movies. I tried watching Fellowship but I went into it with such a negative opinion after the books that it was unwatchable.
