you never read tolkein, not even his most simplified story
for me reading hobbit was a literal day of reading
but on the other hand, i read Mises Human Action twice over a period of about 2 months, that thing is literally as thick as the bible, and i still haven't read the bible, the bible is much harder to read than Mises
lol! for me, anyway
mises was only hard for me with all the latin funny words he used
