Il ne faut pas lire Tolkien et le Seigneur des Anneaux
C'est en tout cas l'avis de Richard Wilson qui a rédigé un papier en anglais sur le site du Times. Son titre : Les 10 livres a ne pas lire avant de mourir. Et dedans donc le Seigneur des Anneaux. Mais tout le monde est servit : James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, Marcel Proust, ou Homère.
Voici le passage sur Tolkien :
9: Lord of the Rings – J R R Tolkien
"There’s a brilliant scene in the much-underrated sitcom It Ain’t Half Hot, Mum, when Sergeant Major Williams (Windsor Davies) snatches a book from Mr La-di-dah Gunner Graham and says:
‘What’s this you’re reading? Useless?’
‘Ulysses, Sergeant Major.’
At school I remember my English teacher saying that he knew no one who had managed to get to the end of it. It does sound rubbish, doesn’t it? I’d have thought it was the duty of a great book to drag you along to the last page. But in a way, that’s good to know: if it’s famously hard going you have the perfect excuse not to bother with it. "
Tout est là

Le but ne serait-il pas en fait de relancer les ventes des dits ouvrages ?

Énorme !9 : Lord of the Rings – J R R Tolkien
The best I can say about this book is that it was a very useful tool at school for helping to choose your friends. Carrying a copy of Tolkien’s monstrous tome was the equivalent of a leper’s bell: ‘Unclean! Unclean!’ I knew I would have nothing in common with anyone who had read it. Their taste in music, clothes, television, everything was predetermined by their devotion to Gandalf. Without a shadow of a doubt, in a few years, these people would be going to Peter Gabriel gigs and reading Dune.

Ca remonte à loin dans mes lectures, mais le gars se trompe de cycle, de toute évidence.C'est dans The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, par S. R. Donaldson que se trouve la notion "Leper Outcast Unclean"Eric a écrit :C'est super drôle !

Listen now. Whoever you are, with these eyes of yours that move themselves along this line of text; whoever, wherever, whenever. If you can read this sentence, this one fragile sentence, it means you're alive. (Jeff Noon - Falling out of cars)
