Yeah, woah, that's like when my mother (the linguist) told me she couldn't get through the Silmarillion. I guess after you've read through things like "Hepatic Bax inhibitor 1 inhibits IRE1 and protects from obesity associated insulin resistance" enough times there is nothing left you can't get through.
I did want to slap a lot of those characters though. You're right, even when they were scrutable they radiated capricious inscrutability. The quality of the language and metaphors was a small redemption.
