And, by the way, I would say that a guy who sees Tolkien only as a bunch of sword fights is just as shortsighted as a girl swooning over an actor. Both of them are getting a tiny little piece of Tolkien, but missing out on the big picture! The big picture is a lot more than swords and axes, although we all know those can be "fun". The big picture for Tolkien at least has to do with characters who can tear your heart out with empathy and ideas that can make you sit down and think a long, long time. And males as well as females can equally appreciate that!

Tolkien is very deep and most of the girls that I know (me being on of them) prefer books that are deep and can sit and think about forever but still have questions.

I like it because it fascinates me how Tolkien wrote this AMAZING books. The are unlike any that I have ever read. He created MANY languages, and a whole history to Middle Earth.

Im a girl and some of my favorite scenes and movies are action. Im even taking Tae Kwon Do and going to take fencing next year. Its 2002 there isnt really anything anymore that is "guys" or "girls".
