What about the LOTR books?

[โ€“] Got_Bent@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Nope. Two things:

First: I was raised in a whacko religious cult that forbade reading novels of any kind.

Second: While I eventually got out of that nonsense and started reading, I've always had an irrational aversion to fantasy and period fiction like the kind with Victorian costumes and pretentious language. Lord of the Rings never appealed to me. I preferred reading early to mid twentieth century stuff like Steinbeck.
