>"Elf-besotted fans aside, why shouldn't Tolkien be granted admission to the literary pantheon? Well, for one thing, his detractors argue, his prose is unbearably archaic. >"Sometimes, reading Tolkien, I am reminded of the Book of Mormon," writes Bloom. Tolkien's verse--which litters the text of The Lord of the Rings--is generally accepted to be even worse." You guys told me Harold Bloom was the good guy. He spoke of the evils of Harry Potter and I aligned myself with him.
It turns out he doesn't like the Lord of the Rings though? What in the hell could he have possibly meant by this?

It's pretty obvious he's a mindless technician in his approach to writing. Pretty boring opinions desu. He would probably say Cormac McCarthy is too simple and makes grammar errors.
Henry Miller
Still not jewpilled yet?
William Harris
But I thought Bloom loved the Book of Mormon.
Brandon Russell
>KJV biblical stories have some of the most powerful literary value >Tolkien's prose is to archaic and biblical Honestly what? Bloom is usually spot on, except for Whitman
Xavier Sullivan
Bloom positively slobbers over Corncob tortilla so try again
Ryan Bell
>except for Whitman
Take that back.
Ian Edwards
Nope, he actually love McCarthy and said that he can be part of the Western Canon, together with Pynchon and Delillo.
Angel Howard
People who like Bloom are incapable of having opinions of their own
Aiden King
do you not see the difference between an archaic work having archaic prose and a modern one having [bad] archaic prose?
