: I have never known anyone to read a book by JRRT (about ME) and not become hooked on his works... Has anyone else ever wondered what it is that makes LOTR (and every other ME book) so addictive? Maybe they stand out as the best written books of all time...: OTOH, I don't know a lot of people. : Maedhros You know about a year and a half ago accadamics voted for the top 100 books of the century. Tolkien did not get even honorable mention. When people called in they actually said Tolkien's was a nice little story but not worthy of the list. Ulisses (spell) was number one. Did you ever read that thing? It is horrible. Lord of The Rings is fantasy and not understood by many.
