Amen. This is what they should teach in schools. It’s not like you would go outside and tell people that you’re a flat earther but you don’t really believe that earh doesn’t have curve. Then why do people go outside claiming they a christians but don’t really believe in thw crap that happened in the great folk lore fantasy book called the bible. I would love to read it some day completely, like a folk lore book, not to convert. Same goes for koran. It would be interesting
Yeah propably. I should maybe just stick to kalevala. It’s a huge collection of finnish folk lore which almost got lost but then some guy decided to collect it all and make a book. It’s actually extremly significant for finland and tolkien took inspiration out of it while writing lotr
I started it. But when I got to the part in Genesis where there’s entire chapters devoted to the generations of who begat who, I realized that it was crappily written and wouldn’t be enjoyable.
I liked it. Except for the entire chapter with the song of Tom Bombadil. I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to be reading, or singing? Great story though.
It always weirds me out too when there’s like 2 pages of just songs. Like cool songs and they really add to the depth of the lore but I’m having hard time concetrating on them

You’d be too annoyed by the contradictions, repetition and nonsense to finish it.
There are some pretty raunchy bits though.

You must hate Tolkien.
