Lotr definitely has a brilliant story, but the prose is really hard for me to sift through. I need something flowery or well written. Plus I don't need to know the lyrics of the songs that they sing when they visit a pub.

I finished Prydain 1, now I'm gonna read Solaris.

Just finished "Cinder", a sci-fi fantasy twist on Cinderella. It's the first book of a quartet, I'm going to order the next 3 books in the series today.
