Why Do You Admire Tolkien's Writing? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Tolkien is such a brilliant writer (and a brilliant man in his own right). The fact that he created all these languages himself totally leaves me in awe. He is an amazing man, and his writing is very academic. It's just too bad some people get pulled into the some of the newer author's writings (J.K. Rowling in particular) and don't even realize that there are these spectacular novels by Tolkien out there.
