The Books means discussions about the Books. The Bombadil debates are advanced, and people can talk about them if they want to. Correct me if i am wrong, but we are not here to reach some grand decision based on facts, we are here for interesting and fun discussion. If you don’t like them, don’t read them. Stick "debates" which are just the reading of facts if that’s what you are here for.
As for him not being Enhanced by it, that’s merely Tolkein’s opinion. I enjoy reading everyone’s ideas about where he comes from, and since the stories are there for enjoyment, he is being enhanced. [Mummy Tone:] If Tolkein told you the Sky was red would you believe it?
