>Starting with a long borin prologue that's nothing but infodump.
Tolkien knew exactly what kind of audience he was aiming for.
What do you mean by bad prose in this instance?
>tfw unable to tell if prose is good or bad
i just read things and like them, i have no fucking idea whether the writing is good or not
it feels good to be a pleb desu
>>7368969
did some contemporary author's twitter tell you that?
>>7368999
It's kind of the same for me. I can notice outstanding prose, and of course I can notice outright awful prose, but can't tell the difference from good and kinda bad.
>>7369006
I bet they did. Don't you know anything, OP? Something being old means it's better by default.

>not just fucking skipping the prologue
>>7369067
Why do you think I didn't?
>>7369075
I knew that, but he was implying that the literary twitter community didn't matter--that's where I get my opinioms from so I was quite offended.

Thoughts on Ravenous? Started good but i think lost its steam after the reveal. Picked up at the end though.

Reading Tolkein for the prose is like reading Shakespeare for the plots
>>7370129
True.
Also: Reading Tolkien for the plot is like reading Shakespeare for the plots
Also: Reading Tolkien for the plot is like reading Twilight.
>>7370115
Not the same guy, but I enjoyed it, kept a constant sinister tone I would say. Also the soundtrack was rather nice as well.
>>7370148
Twilight is in a class of shallow shit all of it's own. Don't lump it in with Tolkien.
>>7370115
i really like it. the soundtrack is GOAT
