Thoughts on The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit?
I might watch The Rings of Power but I’ve heard mixed things on it. What do you all think of it?
Mostly though: I’m hoping that some people here can expand on what I’m reading so far.
'Cause honestly, I do like what I’m reading, I do, and that’s because I genuinely like the mythological tone that the world-building takes. And Numenor as an “Atlantis” is a fine way to do things, but honestly, I doubt they’ll be able to do much with it in whatever Amazon property they decide to make of it (which, I mean, is fine). I wonder if there are other shows or serials besides The Rings of Power that are coming out? Either way: I really like the beginning and how everything started with music and song.
Your thoughts?

I love Glorfindel! So he has his own story here? NOICE
And yeah, it seems that the second season fell off the rails.

Noice.
I loved the convo between Glorfindel and Frodo after the adventure with Tom Bombadil.
The Sil is great. It gives the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit its not-so-mythical past which makes artifacts from that time feel really valuable and important.
Yeah, loving it so far.
I like Andy Serkis’ voices for Melkor and Iluvatar.
It’s a great book, I have my problems with a few of the narrative choices but I’ve never regretted reading it.
So far, so good, for me. Page 40 right now. Listening again.
I love the Silmarillion, and re-read it about once a year. Even though it’s written like a history or mythology book, some of the stories in there are incredible.
I haven’t heard of an andy serkis read one, but there is already an audiobook that’s well done.
Ya that’s the one.
Nice, I’ll have to check out the andy serkis version.
Great! Lots of vacationing this month, but just now getting back to work. How about u?
Same, actually.
I’m also going to Guatemala later.
Soon, I’ll be having my graduation ceremony for university afterward too.
