I think that reading is great excercise for the mind.
You make a good point there Nenya, but I agree with Willie also. There is something to be said for just kicking back and enjoying a story for what it is without having to deconstruct it.

Most fiction can't stand up to the degree of scrutiny we Barrow-Downers put on JRRT's stories. It is a credit to Tolkien's work and attention to detail that Middle Earth can.

What did I do with that bottle of Tangent Be Gone?
