>>24934219The Lord of The Rings always makes me tear up on re-reads just from the sheer beauty. It is the only "genre fiction"/"fantasy" (its mythology) worth reading, and too many fags on this site think its anything like the absolute trite Dungeons and Dragons slop that were inspired by it. I read nothing but literary fiction, mythology, poetry, philosophy, and history and LOTR belongs to all of those categories.
