> When I read a book of that much importance

Imagine if Tolkien was writing Fellowship last decade, and the book landed on your hands today. No decades of cult growing, no adaptations or explosive marketing, some word of mouth. Would you think it "much important" before reading it? What makes the importance?

In my opinion it's the prose. It's always the prose. Always gotta be on the lookout for good writers, new and old.
