I am a world lover, completely and totally. I was never drawn into the plot. For me, the apeal lies in the cultures, the land descriptions, the fact that the books illustrate not just a plot line but a living history as well...
The characters, for me, are only important as far as they show the cultures of their own races, the plot line simply a way to travel through and experience first-hand as many aspects of Middle Earth as possible. That's why the differences between the movies and the books don't bother me so much. I'd have paid just as much to see 3 hours worth of screen shots, or paintings. It's all about the artistry, bringing the world so much to life. *sighs happily and walks off to write more RPG entries*
