Don't agree, but different strokes as you imply, different tastes are to be expected. I found the LOTR trilogy to be the absolute most boring and pompous thing I'd ever read and still can't understand why a writer would have dedicated much of his life to typing it out , but I know it's very popular with most people. Art is like that.
Like you say, everyone is different and I know that is an unpopular opinion. I am also 100% with you on LOTR, I struggled with that for hours trying to force it but finally decided that it was just not for me at all. God damn all those songs and poetry were just mind numbing to me!
