I'm new here! hip hip hurray!
Anyway..I did read some of the books in the serie of "The Sword of Shannara" and thought they was rellay good, of cource I hadn't read Lord of the rings then and didn't realize how The Sword of Shannara just was a bad copy.
Anyway...just wanted to say that Tolkien didnt own all of the things that he wrote about...for example "Middle earth" is just borrowed from the nordic mythologi, I dont think that I need to talk about all the other things...I think you understand.
I'm not saying that he didn't make a amazingly good job, because I know he did, but the things he writes about is not just his...
