It's funny you should say, or rather post, that, Glenethor, because LotR definitely struck me as a book that could read as a warning for the world. It pierced my heart because I related it to Russia as well, and all that once was, and the terror that came. It also awakened in me a newfound fear of globalization, which I equate with the coming of the Antichrist (no, really, I'm not insane, the voices just like to speak to me [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] ); particularly the phrase, "ONE ring to rule them all..."
*Brrr* I have lived with a sense of impeding doom in my heart, it's a quiet feeling without all the rushes of paranoia, yet it is steadfast. This is why LotR affected me in such a strong fashion, and this is part of why I am a newfound Tolkien fan.
