If that even makes sense. Perhaps I’m wishing for a book that doesn’t or cannot exist. I want to read something that is relaxing while stimulating and satisfying curiosity. I dont want something juvenile. It’s ok if it’s deep and thought provoking, but doesn’t have to be. It should not have conflict.
When I imagine such a book, I think of beautiful descriptions of a forest and the things that live there. The weather. The scenery.
I just had the thought that what Im describing is poetry, but poetry is something which I’ve struggled to enjoy.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
Lord of the Rings scratches that ich for me, I can jump into any chapter and read or listen for a while and know the story well enough that I never feel lost
LOTR… really?
I mean, maybe some chapters here and there, but LOTR is ABOUT conflict.
LOTR is about walking with some conflict sprinkled in
Lol
The books are a lot different than the movies. Lots of people who liked the movies find the books boring because Tolkien is fucking awful at writing battles. Half the time you’ll be reading two characters having a casual conversation for several pages, only to remember “oh yea, there’s supposed to be like a massive battle going on”
