I'm sorry if this has been said already, but perhaps the basic difference between LOTR lovers and those who are not, is that we who love LOTR recognize Middle Earth as REAL in a sense that the humdrum work-a-day, death-and-taxes, rush-hour-traffic so-called "reality" we deal with every day, is not.
