I know, silly question, but why do you like LOTR? What makes it so great? Well I always liked the time of the knights and dragons, where bueatiful woman have to be saved. But Tolkien took it a big step further. He designed maps, made own languages, races etc. But the story line is so orginal, I never thought some one could make such a storyline up! I know, there are more reasons why it's so great, but I just don't have the brains to tell more
