The Odyssey's getting on for 3000 years old and the Epic of Gilgamesh is even older than that
Ditto! That and the Ramayana, the Nibelung Saga, and more! And think of most of the world's religions! Ex: Judaism and the Old Testament have been around for about 3,000 years, not to mention the fact that millions still read it!

So, I do think people will read Lord of the Rings in 3,000 years. It might not be the exact story (if you think realisticly, alot of things get misconstued over even 100 years), but it is such a timeless story that I can't see it ever falling to the wayside.

This has been My Two Cents
