I totally agree with you, Elven Chika! You know you're a true Tolkien fan when you'd rather live in Middle Earth than our world. At times I have felt that way...that i'd give up my life and everything in it...my industrialized 21-st century world with fast cars, computers, cell phones...sometimes i think i'd like to give it all up, in a second, if i could only go and live in Middle Earth forever. I`d want to live in the sacred, timeless, golden wood of Lothlorien, or in peaceful Rivendell. I think i'd honestly would rather live in a world like that than in this place and time. Reading Tolkien has made me sick of our industrialized stressful lives in the 2000s. I long for an escape into heroism and adventure, full of entralling grandeur and peaceful beauty.Middle Earth is not exactly a Utopia, yet it IS a perfectly harmonious world. Who wouldn't love to be transported there, to such a timeless, melodious place?
