Tolkien scholars - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I don't know any specific Tolkien scholars, but I have read some books written by people who studied it. The books I read did not really have any specific opinions about Tolkien or his writing, they just kind of explained everything a little more clearly (No, I did not read Cliff notes). I did actually enjoy it. I like the books that explain the world of Middle Earth more, not ones that critcize the way it was written or anything like that.
