I love fantsy, love sci-fi, and am a nerd and dislike 2 major nerdom things, Tolkien and Star Wars.

Well, I like the movies, but not the books. I had a hard time reading them. He needed an editor, there was so much useless details and tangents, that I just could not read it and gave up at least 3/4th of the way through the LoTR.

That and the hobbit movie as a kid scared the living day lights out of me!
