What is it about Tolkien's works? I believe that it's the story, and the fact that I can slip into the book and shut off from the world that I'm in. The story is so full of twists and rich with detail that it keeps me glued to the book. After I put it down, the book makes me feel like I've not only read a few pages, but that I've learned a lot as well.
