I read both articles at the library where I work. I rolled my eyes much throughout that Feeding on Fantasy story, but this in particular caught my attention: <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> "Many young Americans are involved in the stories in a way that I'm not," he once remarked about his fans—or as he called them, "my deplorable cultus." <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>How nice. Well, I knew he (Tolkien, of course) thought that way from reading his "Letters". But still..."Entertainment Weekly" also had a recent cover story about TTT. Elijah Wood looks really comical on the front. Ah ho ho, I always appreciate a good laugh on a Monday morning at work.[ November 27, 2002: Message edited by: Diamond18 ]
