50 Memes That Might Transport You Straight To Middle Earth

May I recommend The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant (series) by Stephen R. Donaldson? /S I read both series many years ago when I was young. The Hobbit / LOTR were page turners for me and I loved them. The Thomas Covenant books were "OMG! DOES THIS GUY GET PAID BY THE WORD OR WHAT!?" It felt like if there was a box of kleenex on the end table next to the sofa he would describe it in great detail as soon as he got done describing the sofa, the end table and the light fixture and any small streaks on the living room window. The books averaged around 500 pages each. Bonus points that much of the story was kind of depressing. The series starts out that he is diagnosed with leprosy, his wife leaves him and he gets hit by a car. Good times! The story was sort of okay once he got around to telling it but I didn't make it through all 10 books. I kept thinking it would get better but it didn't and I cut my losses about half way through.

I've read it 10+ times by now and still never noticed it took so long to describe a tree :D

That’s too many pages for a sandwich. Wow

Hey, Contact is overall a good book, but let's just say if I wanted to read 300 pages of backstory about the sexual politics of a female astronomy student, I wouldn't turn to Carl Sagan. Less Contact would've been far better.

James Mitchner does this in Hawaii.

I felt like there was just a ton of walking. I remember trying to read it and it seemed so boring with all the walking. Movies must be better.

OMG YES!!!! 5 pages of describing a blade of grass!!!!

Na.Victor Hugo does the same thing. "Why so many descriptions? WHY?!? Ah. OK. It ends up like this. It makes sense after all."

And we got used to shorter more to-the-point stories. Something to do with a decreasing attention span.

"These are, indeed, tough bananas"

I am

You misspelled "Babysitter kills"

nahhh look at the kid, they gave the kid one of their swords! so thoughtful!!

They will protect him.

Can’t tell if the typo was a very nerdy joke or just a typo.

S and D are right next to each other, maybe it was meant to be Lego-lad but Tolkien just kept on going with the S

*anwhere apparently :D

we have the same profile pic!

Very sneaky snek

Bing is the worst app I've ever had the misfortune of using. Only used it to get rewards, someone it will straight up not show certain search results, for example, sometimes I will search a current event or something plus 'Reddit' to see if people are talking about it on there. Bing will straight up omit relevant results to avoid going to other social media sites. Not to mention it glitches out constantly and shows trending stuff for the US, when I don't live there.

bing says you are a big titty goth girl.

Who sobbed like crazy when he was dumped by his gf.

Yep, people that describe themselves as an "alpha" are stupid, weak little bitches.

Or a Floridaman

Right!? And this real man also kisses his dying companion's forehead whilst crying.

Is he though? Isn‘t he a descendent of an Elf?

I think the meme refers to the fact that they're all adult males. Anyway, Tolkein's Hobbits are pretty much considered to be small humans. They're referred to sometimes as 'halflings', after all. Gandalf is an angelic being who took the form of a man.
