Re: Genius

I like Tolkien's work because:

a) The words flow. I can't think of a good metaphor right now, but yes. The words flow, and the prose is so poetic, if that's possible.
b) The world is real, like everyone seems to have said already.
c) Everything is so subtle, you can just read it and re-read it and never quite work out what it all means - in a good way.
