I imagine Tolkien's works will go through waves of popularity, as it has before. We just happen to be on a crest of popularity at the moment. Granted, the books probably won't be a popular then, but look at the other epics that have gone for about 3000 years, like the Odyssey. If Tolkien's works have classic elements in them that are universal to humankind, no matter what the time, surely they will endure to some extent!
Peace
