Was there a piece of music that inspired the creation, and if so, can I please hear it?
I could read the books to get his stories, but knowing the music would make me happy. Mmm...music.

I would ask him to tell me stories about what happened to Gandalf before, after, and inbetween The Hobbit and LOTR, including the weird things he must've seen when he died after that whole balrog thing.
That, or "Why haven't you haunted Peter Jackson's nightmares yet??"

Tolkien is my role model. So deeply religious, such unmovable faith, such beautiful works, such a spectacular imagination...

What's it like being dead?
But seriously I'd ask him about the fate of hobbits.

OK, I've changed my mind - something he'd actually know the answer to...........Was Sauron a bed wetter?

Well, people, he always refers to Eru as He. If He were asexual (or omnisexual) he would refer to Him as It, or Heshe, or something.

I always thought of Eru as a he.
I know what to ask. What happened to the Entwives and do they ever return?
