Ok, I agree with everything you say...but:
Quote:
I have a theory that the entire history of the British Empire was due to an entirely justifiable urge to escape the narrow minded socially restrictive petty one-up-womanship displayed in these novels, with the predictably disastrous results.
Forgive my ignorance, but what's that in simple English?! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] And does that make you for or against the British Empire? (I personally see nothing wrong with it...but hey)

And back on topic...man, I just get sick of all these people slagging off LOTR...I think they really have something personal against it, because other books don't seem to come in for that sort of criticism...! And the same goes for Harry Potter...all those Christian groups campaigning against it...have they read Phillip Pullman yet?!
