Sky Render on 08 February 2008
Tolkien's style is decidedly stilted. His goal was, more or less, to write a "fictional history epic" for England, but I think he got a little too caught up on the "history" part. Which would explain why the Lord of the Rings books (and even moreso, the Silmarillon) are rather dry reads. It's not unlike reading a history book detailing all of the events of a major war, no matter how significant or insignificant those events may be.
Sky Render - Sanity is for the weak.
