I would likely be a silly female who cares only about clothes, makeup, and hot guys...

Hmm...well, for one, my typing wouldn't be as fast. For that matter, my writing wouldn't be as good. I'd read a lot of books. I'd play a lot more video games, and have a less rotted mind

I do suppose I only asked for personal effects...butr what about the greater picture
the millions of fans the writers inspired by it the writers that make refrences to it...I ask you how much of our world formed from tolkein's work what would be the butterfly effect of it all? (Im refering to an older story(which i cant remember right now) by the way not the movie hated the movie Ashton cant act but anyway) would D&D be so popular would RPGs be as fun would literature be what it is would movies be the same heck would our language be the same?

I'd be addicted to another book instead. And join another forum dedicated to the book.

Without LotR...hmmm. We all would be still alive?
 No, seriously, the movies, for example, have brought certain companies lots of money, people arrange lotr weddings, some schools offer courses of elvish and we have an opponent for Harry Potter. But I don't think that the lack of the beloved trilogy would bring up any owerflowing difficulties to people's normal life. *dodges flying objects coming from die hard fans' general direction*

Orlando Bloom might not have been as famous. Elijah Wood would (PUN!) never have to worry about being called "Frodo", "Mr. Baggins" etc.
The Fantasy sub culture probably wouldn't be flourishing like it is now. (And what a sad thing that would be.) Oh yes, people would still think of elves as really short people that make shoes and help Santa make toys.
