Reply to comment by grilledbeers in Finally reading Tolkien by jdbrew

I was into the first half of Return of the King before I finally started skimming through pages looking for anything interesting to happen and skipping songs and poems. Wished I had started sooner.

Like OP said, all respect in the world to Tolkien for pioneering the genre and a truly astonishing amount of world-building. But as a storyteller he left me unimpressed.

It's also worth mentioning that in addition to the monthly credit, you pay discounted rates for any purchases. They also have regular deals allowing you to purchase 3 additional credits for a price that is cheaper than most regular-length books.
