"just a book" or "a descriptive treatise on an imaginary ecosphere " ?

I've always had an obbesion. One of my eariler ones was **Blushes** Teenage mutant turtles. Then Power Rangers. I would carry on put there all of that sort - TV programs. Then I met LotR. Thanks to my brother (If he reads this post I'm gonna die of embaressment) dragging me to the film version. I was hooked. I read the books that night. It was my first "Book" obbesion. And I know why. Becuase I could picture the characters. Becuase as I read the books even the film version that I had seen was wipped from my head and I was in middle earth. I didn't need to worry about anything any more

Thats why to me Tolkiens books are more than "Just books" Becuase they are an escape. An escape from a life that has been forced upon me. Tolkien wrote his books with such detail taht I find it impossible to read and not fall into. No other books that I have read even comes close to this.
