Why do we feel such a need to complete the parts of the puzzle that Tolkien left incomplete? Perhaps it is the joy of his (or any) great work that through reading, we enter it as it enters us, and experience an unchallenged personal sense of identification and understanding.

Not that I'm rationalizing for my chronic procrastination or anything like that...no...not at all... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
Actually, you are probably right on part of the reason why we love his works so much. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
