(Anonymous) 2011-04-27 12:39 am (UTC)(link)One hand: Yes, okay. Professor T was a linguist. He wrote LOTR mostly as a showcase for his made-up languages. The books are huge and the pacing isn't exactly up to most peoples' attention spans. Gotcha.
Other hand: For an academic, his writing was fucking beautiful and his imagination was incomparable even to this day. Even though LOTR is very dense and I find some of it a little dreary myself, there are nuggets in there of such beauty that I cry every time I read them, and I've read the book every Christmas since I was eleven. That's now... coming up on my fifteenth readthrough and I never tire of it. Even better, I always find something new to find beautiful and moving, a turn of phrase or emotion that buoys me. His work has touched me so deeply I got a bit wibbly thinking about it just now.
So yeah. Like anon above, I have a hard time understanding people who don't "get" the book, but I do understand (on an academic basis) WHY you don't. Myself, I love both the book and the movies for completely different reasons. I don't rank one above the other because they aren't the same experience at all.
+1
Are you me?
We have identical rituals.
Also this. The movies really are almost as equally incomparable as the book. While I balk when people dismiss the novel, I'm so glad the movies exist and were made with the love and care they were.
