Personally, I think it's okay, as long as you don't let it take up your whole life (of course, theoretically there wouldn't be anything wrong with that, but realistically . . . well . . .).

I like researching Tolkien because I'm fascinated by the origins of things (I love researching word origins, for instance. Did you know that in Chinese, the phrase for 'I'll be there in a minute' literally translates to 'As soon as I get on the horse, I'll come'? Fascinating stuff). Aside from that bit, I also feel like I can never get enough Tolkien [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
