Yes, I do think I learn more from Tolkien than at school, but in a certain sense. I learn in school because I want to do well and get good grades, but I don't do it because I want to learn the things that we are being taught. But as far as Tolkien goes, I want to learn as much as I can! So, yes I learn more from Tolkien because I have more interest in it. And especially because I'm getting senioritis, I don't want to do any work at school. I hate learning US History. Global History is a little more of interest to me, and Middle Earth History is more interesting than any other history, and it's all imaginary. I suppose that's why people think us fanatics are insane...
