My uncle who lent young me his copy of LOTR advised me to skip the Tom Bombadil chapters entirely, it was good advice.
- gryzzly 4mo agohow do you know if you skipped?
- HlessClaudesman 4mo agoYou are right to push back. I read it later.
- em-bee 4mo agoafter you read it, why did you find it was good advice?
- HlessClaudesman 4mo agoI was about 8 or 9 on my first reading, those chapters are just slow and don't advance the plot, probably would have bounced me out of the book. As an adult I found the author's horny depiction of Goldberry kind of off putting.
