Ways you've changed since LOTR - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

For one thing, the way I write and the way I often talk have changed (I often find myself sounding like Gimli when I'm angry)---I tend to talk and write the way Tolkien writes his narratives and dialogues. The elves have influenced me, in a way that makes me desire to never stop learning. Gandalf reached out to me and taught me a certain level of patience when it comes to waiting for his arrivals in the books. Heck! all of them have become role models for me!

Most significantly, my reading experience has changed. I believe JRRT has set a standard for imagination---in its extreme sense.
