Why I Like Tolkien

[Atariel]

Tolkien the man was a great guy; he had a HUGE imagination, and knew exactly what to do with his time. And the worlds. Well...

Elves! I can't get enough of Elves! And hobbits! They are total country bumpkins without the whole fox-hunting thing. And the men of Rohan! reflecting upon my Swedish roots (1/4 of my total blood count), the Nordic thingy just makes me feel so, well, happy! And Minas Tirith! Doesn't Minas Tirith sound so lovely, in a stone sort of way? And Valinor! Oooh, i simply ADORE Valinor, with all its pretty buildings, and golden bells. and Rivendell! Oooh, i love Rivendell even more than i love Valinor. And Aragorn! Ooooh, he's so INTELLIGENT!!!! i could go on, but i won't encumber you with anything like that.

Ho hum. Anyway, Tolkien. Yes. Brilliant. Total genius. CS Lewis was a fool to make him angry. Thankyou very much for writing it, man, cos you've certainly made my day!
