Tolkien and everyday life

[Eglaladiel]

of course! when i first read the Hobbit in 1999, i was totally obsessed! [ i was about 10 ] i always wished that i could be a traveler, and just randomly join bilbo and the dwarves on their adventure!!! i just was mad about the books really...i dont think i appreciated history as much as i did before reading the books...just te hunger to noe more...i dunno, lol... this was a fantasy novel, and in no way did i relate it to what it really would be have been like in that tyme period...and in response to some ones post about how it would be very much like medival times and how we wouldnt enjoy it....well, there is a fine line between reality and Tolkien! who cares if it wasnt realistic! i would still love it if i could just wake up and find miself in Edoras or Lorien or something!
