I said Tolkien influenced me to study/major in history, but that's a lie. I actually loved history long before reading Tolkien. But because of his work I moved away from ancient Greek and Roman history and into a more medieval type history. So now ontop of studying the Greeks and Romans I have a profound interest in medieval times, which was not really there before I read Tolkien.
