what do you people have against Harry Potter?! You never let it go!
I'm with you on this one, Meela. Can't we all just get along?

A world without LotR would be a very terrifying place indeed. Most fantasy books might never have been written without it. Imagine: no Wizard of Earthsea. No Shanarra. No Sword of Truth. No Harry Potter. I may very well have shrivelled up and died. Or I would be some creepy little goth, sitting in the corner reading Stephen King books.

Who knows what the impact on the rest of literature would be. A great deal of sci-fi may not have been written. And it keeps on spreading...

Abedithon le,
