Will people still like LotR in 3000 years??? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Of course it will still be popular! Look at Shakespeare, people still read his plays and not always just because they have to (i.e school). I read it before they even started talking about it in school simply because I wanted to.
My point being that if the book is good enough (as good as LotR and other of Tolkien's works) than it will still be popular. Despite the decreasing number of readers, or the language changes. But I don't think you could compare it to the Bible or anything of that nature because people worshipped what is in that so that would be the difference.
Ok well let's just say that my entire descendance shall love LotR or else I'll be back to haunt them! Muahahahahaha! [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
