I’ve read some of Lewis and Tolkien. Quite frankly - when it comes to fiction - Tolkien was a much better author.
“Quite frankly - when it comes to fiction - Tolkien was a much better author.”
Could be. I read little fiction, except the classics, and am selective about them too. I’ve read most of Dostoevsky, all of Hugo, for example. Liked some of Hemingway’s early fiction, but not so much his later novels. I just do not like Tolkien. There is something “dark” about his writing, while I find Lewis always refreshing, with perhaps the exception of “That Hideous Strength,” and, “The Screwtape Letters.”
On what do you base your opinion that Tolkien is the better author. Is it objective, or just a personal opinion? Just curious.
