have to say that I think that you are missing out on some of the best books 
of the century...

I am a fanatical LOTR fan and a fanatical HP fan....those damn songs? they 
are wonderful? Oh hey for the bath at the end of the day..oh water hot is a 
noble thing?

The Road goes ever on?

Tolkien was a genius..his books are wonderful..and I am truly sorry for any 
individual who hasn't had the opportunity to savor and enjoy them. 

No, they are not an "easy read", but not everything that is easy is good, and 
not everything that is difficult is bad.

"In response to an unusually intelligent question about whether the sudden 
resurgence of the fantasy genre, with the wizardry and witchcraft, represents 
a growing interest in pagan spiritual traditions, Ian McKellen (who plays 
Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings) replied:

'I certainly hope so. The great religions have destroyed something essential 
about humanity, which is the fact that we belong to the earth. I wish I knew 
more about pagan traditions, because I suspect I would like to sign up.'"
