Although it's early, I find the poll results quite surprising so far. I guess our Filipino bunch have not had time to post yet (or have decided not to) but while I expected somewhat of a higher number of white/caucassian readers, I did not expect it to be THAT predominant.

I Guess it might have to do with Tolkien's writing style and the cultures it's associated with (after all, Lord Of The Rings, Hobbit and The Sil.. are fairly western-style books, and white peoples are predominant in western countries) But specially after the movies, I'd expected to be a bit more evenly distributed.

And then, it has not been 24 hours since the poll opened.
