Reply to comment by Hyperion_Consul in I finished re-reading The Lord of the Rings by EldritchHugMachine

Fog on the Barrow-Downs is actually where I quit reading LotR. Something about that chapter just bored the daylights out of me.

Dang I’ve been downvoted for not feelin part of a book in a subreddit where not continuing a book because you’re not liking it is an actual suggestion

No I'm actually I think you're being downvoted because this is a post about your favorite chapters of the book, and you decided to comment on how much you hate it. It's just you're harshing the vibe of what we're all talking about here.

"Hey this is my favorite thing!"

" I hate your favorite thing."

So in terms of definitionally the purpose of downvoting, your comment does not contribute meaningfully to the conversation. I'm sorry you're upset though

I think it's a valid perspective, though. Everytime I re-read LotR, I remember I have to slog through 2 Bombadil chapters that have little relevance to the rest of the book. They're not exactly my favorite chapters either.
