So, I started reading Moby Peepee, and I didn’t expect this book would be so funny. I’m currently on chapter 13, and up to this point Ishmael and Queequeg had so many “no homo” moments. Can’t wait for the Captain Ahab chapters.
I’ve also finished “It” by Stephen King. It was my first King book, and god, I didn’t expected for it to be 50% filler, so many pointless 
and endless backstories of side characters that never show up again, plus the creepy child gangbang 
near the end had some “50 shades of Grey” tier writing. A friend of mine recommended me “The Shining” but l’m not quite sure anymore.
What do you guys recommend?

I was reading Moby Peepee last year and had the same thoughts. It was fun but then they got on the boat and I put it down and forgot to ever pick it back up again.
This week I finished The Hobbit because someone told me I should read that before I start LotRs. I no longer plan to start LotR's.

Tolkien writes like his readers have the patience of saints.

His editor worshipped the ground Tolkien walked on and didn't seem to be able to tell him that nobody will ever like Tom Bombadil.

So much of the beginning of that book was dedicated to him and it had nothing what so ever to do with the plot.
I enjoy this article that someone here shared though.

The movies tell that story much better than the books do.

I just finished the Hobbit too. Also because someone recommended it as a relatively contained novel and a way to get into Lord of the Rings.
I thought it was decent, but the way it’s written does take getting used to. I was also planning to not read LotR anytime soon since I’ve heard it gets lost in the weeds and I don’t have a lot of patience for fantasy run-on worldbuilding. Maybe someday, but right now I’d rather try other authors and series.

You didn't like The Hobbit? I actually prefer it to LotR. Why didn't you like it?

Two main reasons
1. Everything between Bilbo leaving rhe Shire and meeting Smaug was fairly forgettable.
2. Dwarves.

Bilbo meeting Gollum was memorable. The whole mountain event was. I also remember the troll and spider subplots.

I never said I loved elves. I just didn't like the decision of having 13 characters and 10 of them being functionally the same person.

If you can remember the differences between them besides the king, the fat one, and the one that likes Bilbo, god bless you but you're a huge dork.
