People will always wish to discuss the books*, and the movies will bring in new people. Tolkien's works attract thousands of new fans each year, and I'm sure a few wish to do more than read the words and see the films. They yearn for the history, the symbolic questions, the minutae, thematic drive and etc.<P><BR>*As I do, hence why I joined. I've read the major works (Hobbit, LotR, Silmarillion) as well as Unfinished Tales and have the HoM-E waiting in the wings. I wish to know more or the thoughts behind his words (picked up Letters of JRRT today for that purpose); message boards often provide such thoughts, or at least solid debate. More will follow, just as more will flock to TheForce.net after Ep3 leaves the theaters: continued interest and a desire to know the worlds more.
