When the movies are over, Will the craze for Tolkien still be around? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

As long as true fans exist, so will the legacy of Tolkien. Our numbers have swelled considerably in the past few years and I have no doubt that many of the "Newbies" will stay and become as loving of the works as us "Pre-Movie Fans". Never fear: if I ever have children of my own, they will be raised with bedtime stories of (slightly edited to lessen the goriness) Tolkien's works. If I never have children, I will introduce my nieces and nephews and second-cousins-once-removed-on-my-mother's-sides to the LotR. As long as fans believe in the magic, it will live on.<P>Fea
