    I bet Tolkien was pissed that Herbert just glosses over the battle language instead of constructing it in its entirety.

    Herbert basically put all his kinks into his later books. I don’t think Tolkien would like that.

    both works are not written well.

    whats up with the shitty poems and songs, tolkien? no we don’t need that explained in such detail, tolkien!

    …and dune was so hard to get into. Don’t hit me with it all at once! at least take me out for dinner first!

    both works make more than up for it thanks to their incredible stories
