Sting Did you know?

Some modern authors are actually angry that Tolkien's books are doing so well!
They claim that "old authors" shouldn't be allowed to knock "new authors" off the top spot, and say that his works are taking away their readers. [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Do you think that they have a right to feel this way about an author who's work has inspired so many people, probably even themselves, and who deserves the kudos he's getting?
