Rate Tolkien's books.
For me, The Hobbit > Fellowship > RotK > TT
you can't really rate LOTR as 3 separate books imo.
I'll rank 'em like this:
Silmarillion > Children of Hurin > Hobbit = Lord of the Rings
It's been a while since I read the Hobbit and LOTR though.
LOTR is one fucking book man, he broke it up to be able to sell it.
Im a fantasy literature illiterate about to read LoTR once it arrives in mail. Am I in for something good or another full blown meme

It's not a hackjob by any stretch but you must have some predisposition towards worldbuilding and/or medieval romances to really enjoy it.
Children of Hurin > Hobbit > Fellowship > Silmarillion >RotK > TT
>>8241589
don't expect an easy read. It's my favorite book and i still have trouble with it
>>8241589
The first half of the first book is very grinding
>>8243043
That's the best part though.

A Song of Ice & Fire > The Hobbit > Fellowship > RotK > TT
