this book is boring or badly written I just want to say such irrationally mean things. They are beautiful and evocative and thoughtful

I agree with the second part; but the beginning is too damn boring. There's other parts that drag as well (eg- floating down the river after leaving Lorien). There's several moments during the books that I just can't read 'cause it's too damned boring. In that aspect the movies did much better in getting the action moving.

I gotta admit that I've re-read the book so many times I often skip huge passages of the opening (between A Shortcut to Mushrooms up until meeting Aragorn and then some skimming before Elrond's Council), so I don't actually disagree with you. Although the first time I read it as a kid I was enthralled by every unfolding word, which might be the problem. I think we have less time and patience for leisure activities the older we get and thus less patience for novels to take their sweet time getting somewhere. Like- I did Brothers Karamazov and Les Miserable in three days a pop at 15 and am having trouble getting through much lighter fare like A Song of Ice and Fire (weeeeeks a book) now that I'm 24 an in University.

The problem might be trying to read this shit for the first time as adults.

That's the same sort of issue I have too. I read all the time in high school; and now I haven't really read anything at all since Pride and Prejudice over a year ago (didn't take too long to read it, but it's still the only thing I've read in quite a while).

The only thing I can read quickly nowadays is comic books...

oh man, this is so true

I am also 24 and I feel like I can't even read anymore. I am trying to read Northern Lights and I started it like... 2 months ago and I'm not even halfway through. I feel like it's because I watch too many movies and TV shows. I still love books, I just find it so much harder to get into them. It's really sad. I used to be a huge reader. :(

I agree 100%. The last book I read front to back was Anderson Cooper's autobiography and that was only because he's my personal hero. Otherwise, I can barely get through books I was enthralled with in my heydays of intellectual reading, like Kafka's Metamorphosis or Sinclair's The Jungle. It is a shame, too. I know those books were good, and I know it's not nostalgia.
