Is this how you choose to spend your time? Oh, and allow me to refer you to r/boneappletea.

I don’t understand the backlash the Silmarillion is an objectively tedious read

I mean, it's not "objectively" tedious, it's tedious to you so that's subjective.

When reading it is comparable to reading a textbook it’s really not that grand of a claim to say it’s objectively tedious

Thanks for engaging, thought you were trolling.

You're in a Tolkien fan group. Of course people are going to disagree with you. I did find the Sil difficult, but didn't find it tedious - I found it heartbreaking, but (spoiler alert!) that's the fate of Arda marred.

I give props to everyone who can enjoy it, I read part of it for a class and it’s not for me

Fair play. But a word to the wise. If you're in a place of worship, don't start telling everyone that their Holy Book is unreadable garbage - even if to you it is. You'll find you'll get some backlash. :o)

Edit: wrong sub! 😂
