Yes, I think to many of us, at least to me, LOTR is an escape from our technological world. Middle Earth seems almost like a paradrise. It is not far-fetched like many fantasy books. I think it is interesting the way that Tolkien created this whole new world, with it's own history, and people, and languages, and wars, and beauty, and, yet, a deep sorrow. LOTR seemd to touch the deep places of my soul, and bring up emotions I never knew that I had.
LOTR seems to pierce your heart, and leave you wanting more. It touched me so deeply, and it brought me close to people. I met people because of LOTR, that I never would have talked to before then. I actually started wanting to write, when, before I read these AMAZING books, I had never thought that I could. I name Lord of the Rings my all-time favorite trilogy. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]
