when i first read lotr was an escape from that technical world. tolkien shows you that there can be a world and meaning behind things. not everything is facts and numbers. now i have grown so fond of this world, that i have to stick to it. it´s also so heroic. e.g. who would die for love these days. few would.
tolkiens world is so rich of characters that almost everyone can identify with someone. and at last there is hardly any fictionary world that is so rich and deep as tolkien has created one.
