Why does this story move so many people so?

[Neferchoirwen]

Lotr's world is a part of me but i'm not a part of it.
It grows in me and i'm growing with it.

That's what's happening to me, too, Stone! I feel the same way, that Middle Earth is expanding in me, and that I am being "colonized" by its myths, legends and people.

I become a part of Middle Earth by believing in it. Like an alliegance to a country.

Well, I guess that's the best thing that can be said about Tolkien's world. Beyond that, I don't know what else to express. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
