Re: I had to make a short reply

I dont care what other people think about Tolkiens work.. I know I like it. Some people at my highschool say the books are boring, etc.. and view me as a nerd because I like to read them. Just ignore these narrow-minded remarks. If that guy had half a brain he would realize Tolkien for the genuis he is, and even if he didnt like him it doesn't mean he has to criticize his work to gain attention.
