Isnt the Lord of the Rings great? I mean, what other story (besides the Bible) has as much timeless truth and amazing heros, and presents humanity in such a stunning way? Think of all the great inter-woven stories, like Numenor and Elvenhome and Middle-earth itself?
"Tall ships and Tall kings, three times three, What brought them from the foundered land, over the flowing sea? Seven stars and seven stones and one white tree."
Isnt that great? and there is so much in there that just stirs your heart. Who here wouldnt love for a shot at middle-earth ( given that you could decide which of your favorite races and skills you would be...I certainly cant decide bettween a sorrowful/gay elven warrior and the stouthearted Dunedain)
I dont know what I want anyone to answer to this, but i just wanted to send it out there.
