I do! I love Tolkien's works not only for all the above mentioned reasons (the elaborate secondary world that has the inner consisteny of reality, his wonderful language etc ), but because they are full of timeless truth and wisdom.
The more I read, the more meaning I find, and the dearer the books become to me. Reading Tolkiens biography and his letters made me appreciate him even more.

But Arwen Eruantale has above written something like that as well!
