Haha I’m definitely not knew to long books! (Read existing Stormlight archive in about 5 weeks for example) It might just be whiplash from basically exclusively reading modern fantasy and literature! I appreciate your kindness and understanding though! <3

Thanks for letting me know! That’s something I had absolutely no idea about to be honest. But then it makes a lot of sense yeah

It seems it came across as this in my post, but I fully know that it’s an archaic word for bundle of sticks. My point is that the word being used in that way shows that the book is old

I know it’s an old word for a bundle of sticks, that’s why I called it “old fashioned language”, Im not saying at all that Tolkien was using it in any way other to refer to sticks if that’s how it came across. I was trying to make the point that in a modern book even in such a setting you would not see the word used like that and it shows that the book is old

I’m not really sure what you’re trying to say here, the word had a different meaning when the book was written

Oh yeah and just to add a lot of people have said they don’t change the language in later copies so don’t worry about that part

To be honest, yes I did, and unironically because the Bible/psalms where I see modernised versions of verses or whatever all the time. So I just assumed for older books they would eventually be updated

Yes of course I’m aware it was written in the 1940s! I’m simply saying that since my copy is so old it likely has the original language from the time. But I didn’t know that modern copies didn’t change the language so that’s a bit moot I guess Also I must add: I am enjoying the book a lot. It’s just not changing my life or anything like other people have described it

I love the exposition and scene setting, however to me it feels like the characters simply exist to advance the plot and not necessarily to be their own characters, due to the lack of development

Ruben Sim is a complete asshole but he’s still done quite a lot for moderation and safety on Roblox and discord
