has reading (and/or re-reading, and re-reading…) The Lord of the Rings made you a “better person”?

In some ways, yes. I had a hard time liking to read before, because I was reading the wrong kind of books. When I discovered I liked fantasy I began to LOVE reading and can't get enough of it. Lord of the rings has inscreased my vocabulary and when teachers or youth pastors use illustrations from it, it helps me understand better. J.R.R. Tolkien also inspired me on a career path. I always loved writing and didn't know what I wanted to do with my life, but never before thought to put the two together! So, yes in ways it has, but morally I don't think so.
Oh, and I'm also doing the "walk to Rivendell" so you can say it's made me healthier!
