i get sad because i don't have anything worth reading when i'm done with LOTR-you look at books that maybe a little while before seemed great but now seem goofy and ungainly in light of tolkien's masterpiece. tho the ending is rather bittersweet-i mean, yea, frodos going to valinor! however everyone else gets to stay in middle-earth and watch as elves disappear and men multiply-fun fun fun. oh yeah, they die eventually too-which must stink.
