I very much fit into the 'world' category, and I love all the 'what ifs' and all that and theorising on stuff such as what would happen if Galadriel took the Ring, if Helm's Deep was lost, if there were more Balrogs etc etc etc etc

However, I love the story, but I always wish for more (a full account of the Battle of Dale, of Saruman's devices in Dol Guldur and so forth). It's unquenchable!

I read the Hobbit for the story, but the world of pipeweed-smoking Hobbits who loved good food appealed to me, and so when I read Lord of the Rings the first time, I was suck into the world, with the story being the catylist that brought it to me.
