At least we know why the Elves want to leave Middle Earth
too many of *those elves*
I found a book by a computer scientist, Putham. He says that there is a false ditonomy on fact and values. He argues that they are entangled. He is an atheist moral realist
Property values in the forest are falling
Aren’t black elves just orcs?
In LotR.... yes
Apparently, it is considered very top tier
Orcs are magical creations of Sauron made as a mockery of elves
that's racist
be more tolerant of orcs
We need more orcs to sustain the elf economy
wow LOTR is so cool, I'm going to read all of it now 🤓
the Hobbit + LotR combined is shorter than a single GRR Martin novel
I loved the Hobbit as a kid
I never read LOTR
Here is the book for you, Nerth. The guy mainly specializes in maths and computer science. I am curious because his argument seems to diverge from intuition based arguments.
But I did read 30 pages on a Jonathan Edwards biography Sunday. I am probably going to start this today.
Hobbit is the only book i've read multiple times
I like the adventure and how straight forward it is
also I like Thoren Oakenshield
Yes. Very simple and to the point
unlike SOME authors....
who? George RR Martin?
Well him and Robert "drag it out till you die" Jordan
They making a Dune movie
^it will probably suck
who is Robert?
I don't really read fiction
he did the Wheel of Time
it ballooned from 3 books, to 6, then 9, then 12
oh my brother has that, never read it
he died after 9
First 3 books were good
all downhill after that
Dune went out of control, should have ended after maybe 3 books
or the first one I dunno
Was it ended properly?
