[Nogrod]

I must join the group of people who confess being interested in History already before getting to know the prof and his works, even if they were just 10-years old...

But I would like to mention philology here. In that Tolkien has really been an inspiration for me: the histories of the words and their interrelatedness, the different languages and their ways of revealing the world differently. That interest I have probably learned from Tolkien.
