What's "real," anyway? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I would have to say that I felt the same way when I read the books. I felt like it was real, even though it clearly isn't. I think that lotr could stand next to a Shakespearean play such as Hamlet, someday. I think that it would take time for lotr to be a realistic book/play. If it becomes a classic, like Hamlet then people just might have to think, 'is lotr real or not?'
