This may sound dumb, but I’ve never read for this man. I’ve always just heard about him on social media but never ventured to read his work. Opinions, please. Should I invest? Feeling like fiction lately. I’ve read so much non-fiction through throughout my life that I think I deserve a couple of fiction books to get busy with for a little while.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: Thank you so much to all who answered. I have read and appreciated every single comment. I have decided to start with fairy tale since I ran into the book at Walmart. So giving that a shot to see. Thank you so much
That bad? I’m getting mixed signals all over. Lol
Like Tolkien, his writing style isn’t for everyone. Some are drawn in by the madness and cosmic horror realized, others can’t penetrate the veil and tune out. Then again, that’s what’s great about fiction and story telling. Finding what works best for you.
I’ve read “the hobbit” last month and it was wonderful. I really enjoyed it. Then watched the movie and got really mad how they didn’t follow story. Same thing with “the count of Monte Cristo”, watched the 2000 movie and I wanted to go choke the director of the movie. WTH did they do that for. The whole story was messed up. Lol
