I don't think there was one moment that I fell in love with LotR, but it was definetly before I finished the book for the first time, because the first thing I did when I finished was start right back at the beginning, lol. The second thing I did was put it on my wish list for my birthday, despite the fact that I'd already read it, and I NEVER buy stuff I've already read... or at least didn't at the time.
But yeah, the depth, the beauty, the nature, the languages, the races... everthing in ME appeals to me. (except maybe the portrayal of dragons and werewolves...)

All of it! I can't pick one part of all that greatness! I don't know where in the book I was hooked, but somewhere in LoTR. maybe from the beginning.
all of the books are magnificent, in their own way. the reason is it's complexity, the languages, characters, places.

I know Tolkien had created a relm of middle earth but the idea of it has been around for centuries is there something you don't like about it?

favourite...
My favourite part of Middle Earth would be the people and their cultures and how different they are, but still, they work together, that or the landscape, it sounds perfect! Lorien and its golden woods, Rivendell and the elves the mines of Moria, Minus Tirith and even Morder and Minus Morgul, theres is just something about the whole earth...

What makes ME so extraordinary is the beauty in it. I love the way Tolkien describes things, places, poeple and ME is in general (excluding the evil places) a rather beautiful place. Even Mirkwood is in its own way stunning. That is why no other fantasy book is likely to match Tolkien's - they seem empty and boring compared to his beautiful works.

I want to go to Middle Earth, so badly. I just want to go there and chill for a while, like chill in the Shire at Bag End, or hang out at Rivendell reading all the books, or go camping in Ithilien. If only I could really go there...

Yeah, I vote for Ithilien. I'd like to help you out Lotesse - I know just how you feel. Let me know if you've find any way.
