Yes, I have seen the world differently, but in a rather strange way. Let me see if I can explain, though it shouldn't be that hard to do so.
I find that I can classify people into LotR Character/Personality Categories because of the book. This is mainly because LotR has such distinct ways of portrayal that each character stands out as an individual. I know people who I've categorized as Denethors, Eowyns (oh, there are a lot of these), Gandalfs, Sarumans (one of my friends told me that I fit in this category), and all the rest. But that's only one facet.
