In my opinion, LotR will always be popular. It was before, during, and is now. Once someone starts to like something, hopefully they keep that like and share it with there friends. The books and movies will still be around even if there aren`t any reviews or movies to see in the cinema. Take Starwars for example. Even now it is a craze. I felt the same way as Meela for a while, though. When I realized that LotR was slipping away from me, something I did not want to happen, I started reading the books and watching the movies more. I came back to the the Downs. Once again I was a crazed fan. Then it started to slip away again, because I moved away from my friends. With out them around, I don`t think about it as much. The Barrow-Downs has helped me a great amount. I was looking through one of my aunt`s catalogs the other day, and came upon a really cool LotR blanket. I ordered it immediately. After doing so, I realized it wasn`t slipping away too much. I just don`t talk about it with my friends as much (except online) and it only seems that I don`t have it anymore. But I guess I am still a crazed fan. All I have to do is look at this post. If I took the time to type it, then I must be.
