Currently struggling to get through the books
So I’ve read The Hobbit twice now. Struggled a bit on the first, but then the second only took me a few days.
I’m trying to get through Fellowship but have only ever made it as far as Fog on the Barrow-downs (so not far at all lol).
I think it’s due to a few different reasons (none of which are lack of trying or that I don’t absolutely love the lore, movies or stories). I wouldn’t say I’m the smartest person, so some of the language confuses me a bit. I’m also not the fastest reader. Worst of all, I get annoyed at myself because I’m reading it so slowly, which unfortunately just causes me to give up.
Are there any other readers out there who maybe have also struggled who can give some advice? I take it this isn’t the type of story you should be rushing through anyway, but when you’re having to put the book down to google a saying or word almost every page it just gets a bit frustrating hahaha
