The Tolkien Template - Carrying on the torch of mythology and folklore

[Aragorn Husband of Arwen]

As I don't have time to read everyone's post, I'll just write what I thought after reading the first couple.

First off, mythology and folklore in my opinion is based off of history, just twisted around. We take something that has happened, and are inspired by it. Our society as a majority, by not reading and learning from history, are repeating it. Those who do not read and learn from history are doomed to repeat it. If we don't read history we cannot be inspired by it. Many mythology stories written now are just stupid or poorly written.

Because of our society trying to remove itself from religion, many of the mythology books I've flipped through are almost santist in proporation.

But, there is always hope, as there are many not well known books out there, not as well written as JRR Tolkien's LOTR, not even close, but still good. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

This is all just my opinion, not to offend.
