Idk if this is cliche, but I really don't like Lord or the Rings. I've tried, I really have tried. I want to like it so badly but I just don't. All of the singing and nonsense feels like a waste of time. Before you say anything, I will give them the respect they deserve. They are irreplaceable pieces of literary history. But for me, I literally can't get through the first book. I've tried and struggled so hard to get through it but I can't. Edit: Explanation, the phrase "my great shame" is kind of tongue in cheek. I'm not sitting up beating chest to the heavens to make me like Lord of The Rings. It's just a thing other fantasy fans find off putting
