I know I'll get flamed for this, but I always thought the writing in the LOTR was horrible. I loved the stories, but I hated the writing. [edit] yes I realize this was a line from the movie, not necessarily the book, but my statement still stands. [/edit]

If you spot a car on the highway sporting plates that read: ML8ML8... What color is the car? Model? :rolleyes:

well, Tolkien never expected his stories to become a cult phenomenon. His goal, if you have ever seen an interview, was to tell a folk tale. He was disappointed that Britain had such a mish-mash of cultures that there was no folk-history, or very little to speak of. So he created an "ancient" folk tale, so much of the stories are told in a folkish fashion. In some ways that is why it became a cult phenomenon. As bad as the writing is, it was designed for "the common man" and was well accepted as such. Or at least to some. However, there were times he got carried away and forgot his own reason and just wrote for the sake of writing, he admits it, and it is obvious in his writing at times. :) The hobbit, was a children's book to go with the other stories. So it was filled with grand adventure, and a few puns, and of course poetry (riddles in the dark and the like). It was strictly entertainment, though provided a brief origin for the ring of the other stories. Still it had little otherwise to do with the Lord of the Rings in order for it to stand on its own as well.

I don't like to think that I have that short of an attention span, but my issue was always reading 15 pages of history on every obscure location or person in the story for every page of story.

Burninate as in burninate the countryside, burninate the villagers. I was kind of iffy on the faith life interpretation, but so many others here saw it the same way, even that Matthew Faithfull guy managed to figure it out.

I should be outraged. Tolkien's prose is the greatest since Shakespeare. Maybe I'll bring it up in the SoapBox.;) Consider yourself lightly singed. :-D
