It's not under science-fiction at my library. Is this a common thing to put Tolkien in sci-fiction? If it is, the government must be behind it because there is no logical explanation whatsoever (IMO).

Ahh, a theory! Since it's not in sci-fiction at my library I went back to the previous posts on this thread to see about other people's libraries, and I noticed that it appeared that many libraries group Fantasy and Science Fiction together which makes sense a little bit. Science-fiction in general can have elements of Fantasy in it and vice versa. Tolkien's work does not have a shred of Sci-fi in it, but, as it has been noted [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img], Tolkien is still in the Fantasy genre. So, guilty by association.
