Yeah he's a linguist/historian before a writer, which shows in the pacing of the second two books, but his mythos and its presentation is one of the most important artistic achievements of this century. He's like if Ayn Rand had written Atlas Shrugged but didn't forget to make his story entertaining.

I'm imagining This is John Galt Speaking as being written by Tolkien.

Please do not remind me of characters from Atlas Shrugged thx. I spent probably two weeks reading that boring garbage and I'd like to forget it for the rest of my life.

We have a road in my town called John Galt rd. I don't know if the road is named from the book, but i don't know if it's not.

Oh don't get me wrong - the book is utter ****e. I was just imagining the notorious speech in Doriathrin or whatever Tolkeinian language you may fancy.

But f*ck Ayn Rand.

I was even down with her philosophy at the time (AT THE TIME) and I still couldn't make it through the whole book.
