I pronunce this book unreadable

Ok, I give up. I pronounce this book by Colleen McCullough unreadable. It is a rare occasion that I could not sit through a book I bought with cold hard cash. The last time this happened, I was trying to deipher the literary gibberish that is J R R Tolkein's The Simarillion.

For those unfamiliar with "The Simarillion", it is a book from J R R Tolkein,the same guy that gave us the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit. The Simarillion described the world of Middle-Earth,its history and how the dark wars came about.

It is practically unreadable.

For one thing, this is a bible in disguise.

How God created the world (aka middle earth) - checked

How one of the angels abandoned the heavenly host and came to Earth to wreak havoc (aka Morgoth) - checked

How brothers kill brothers, kin slay kin (aka elves in search for the simmarillion) - checked

Let me read a paragraph from the Simmarillion.

"And Iluvatar spoke to Ulmo,and said: "Seest thou now how here in this little realm in the Deeps of Time Melkor hath made war upon thy province? He hath bethough him of bitter cold immoderate, and yet hath not destroyed the beauty of the fountains, nor of they clear pools."

My first reaction was : Say what, bitch?!!

What is the meaning of "bethought" and "bitter cold immoderate"? This dumbass was making words as he went along. Aaaargh. Archaic language is one thing, invented words are not.

Where was I? Oh yeah, Colleen McCullough's book. Will get to it tomorrow. Now I must bethought sleep so that I would not have exhaustion immoderate tomorrow which in turn would lead to painicillius and coffee theorem.
