Thoughts on this book?

Thoughts on The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit?

I might watch The Rings of Power but I’ve heard mixed things on it. What do you all think of it?

Mostly though: I’m hoping that some people here can expand on what I’m reading so far.

'Cause honestly, I do like what I’m reading, I do, and that’s because I genuinely like the mythological tone that the world-building takes. And Numenor as an “Atlantis” is a fine way to do things, but honestly, I doubt they’ll be able to do much with it in whatever Amazon property they decide to make of it (which, I mean, is fine). I wonder if there are other shows or serials besides The Rings of Power that are coming out? Either way: I really like the beginning and how everything started with music and song.

Your thoughts?

I read The Bible, Old and New Testament, and the Old Testament at least is much more dry.

Also, yeah, The Lord of the Rings series is dated, of course.
