LOTR is just a timeless story period! I mean when J.R.R. Tolkien wrote this book he wrote one that will be read and loved for a long time to come because of it's powerful, timeless tale of less than perfect heroes overcoming a great evil in their world!And as someone has already stated, there is such a magnificent cast of characters in these books/movies that you have no trouble finding someone to identify with - and personally I love so many of the characters!Also Middle-Earth is such a vivid place full of wonders and horrors not to mention the fact the books have just enough history in them to make this world seem real, like you could almost be dropped in the middle of it and you would actually believe the reality you now find youself in...Oh yes, Tolkien wrote/created a rare jewel when he wrote LOTR!
