When the movies are over, Will the craze for Tolkien still be around? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

What always was, always will be...

That's how it is for me. However, a few friends became Tolkien fans after seeing the films, and I feel quite certain that they will remain fans. One was sceptical to the point of mocking the very idea of his ever reading LotR, but now has finished the Sil (pronouncing it "biblical"), UT, and is on to Tom Bombadil. Another is an artist and she claims her whole style of painting has altered since reading the books. I'm hoping any 'craze' never really goes away, as I like being able to find people almost anywhere who are willing/able to discuss my very favourite thing in the world.

Once the craze dies down in the public eye, however, I am rather hoping that there will be many collectables up for sale at knockdown prices, which I shall add to the colections in my own personal Mathom House.
