My life would be very different if these books were never written. i think Tolkein helped unlock the doors of peoples imigination and show them how books should be, so real that you think that if you look out the window you'll see a nazgul swooping past or if that rustling in the bush was a hobbit. I think that with his fantastic tales of hobbits elves and dwarves not to mention the other races inhabiting middle earth he not only opened doors in peoples minds he opened doors for peoples career and even still there are not enough well written fantasy books but compared to Tolkein very few are well written
