Yeah, it's one of those passages that I had to stop and re-read over and over. He has a lot of sentences like that, that just kinda haunted you.

Minty! I stopped reading LOTR so I could re-read it this past week, lol! I said to myself, I should finish these LOTR books before I read The Last Unicorn...but I couldn't resist!

In my opinion....and don't kill me, but I don't like Tolkien's writing style. I LOVE the story, and I agree that it is a classic, but I kinda go more for the flowery language Beagle has. Beagle has more character development in just the 200 pages or so of his book, than Tolkien has in all three of his.

I still love The Lord of the Rings though.

panisetcircense, i agree that tolkien's writing style is different...it's different than what i'm used to. it's not my fave either, but the story is too good not to read them! i'm in book four and i know it will be a while till i'm done with the whole triology...

how long is TLU? should i read it in between LOTR? ee, help!

My book is only 208 pages or so. Not that long, and it sure goes quick when you can't put it down!

Re: passage of the week
I agree with you Panis. As much as I love Tolkien's story, reading his books is sometimes like slogging through thigh-high mud. It was so wordy sometimes it didn't really hold my attention.

Then again, it would be unlike me to read a book all the way through without starting another book halfway though.
