Tolkien is the father of all modern fantasy. All other writers were inspired by him. What makes the Books so great, in my opinion, is that it *could* have been real. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] It WAS real [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] . The characters, the places, EVERYTHING!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] .
The Books are great because... they just are. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] You can really fall in love with everything in them.
And one can become really obsessed. Any questions? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
