Talk board of J. R. R. TolkienBack to J. R. R. Tolkien's Page
it is amazing how some individuals make such deep impacts in others lives while the majority just plods along. people like tolkien really make life an enjoyable journey.
Tolkien was blessed with the skill of a master and the imagination of a child. He understands love, friendship and valor like no other and we are blessed that he wrote all his stories down for us to read. I am constantly in awe whenever I read his works.
I have read The Lord of the Rings every year since I was eight years old, and am now introducing it to my eight year old daughter. I`m reading it to her, and I`m doing all the voices like they were in the animated cartoon. Yay.
TOLKEIN is tolkein no one can create the mythical characters as well as he did .Truly a master!
he went beyond with his creativity to complete his books.No other Author that I have seen created A world based off other languages and cultures.He even made up his own languages.
Authors like Tolkien no longer exist, have never existed, and will never exist. His tale of Middle-Earth is the longest epic tale ever written. If one reads all of the books on the formation and evolution of Middle-Earth, it is almost 10,000 pages long. Even if it wasn't this long, it is still incredibly detailed and gives the reader the idea that the place actually exists, as if Tolkien dragged it from his imagination into reality.
Some neighborhood friends gave me all three of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy as a birthday present when I was 15 years old. Since it has been a favorite of mine. I moved a few years ago and lost one of the original set...I am hoping I will find it soon to make the set whole once again. I have had them now for 34 years. They have followed me everywhere.
Authors like Tolkien no longer exist. No author has ever replicated such a rich world, ridden with history, laced with epic poetry and such a rich tapestry of mythology. The god of English literature!
I love the worlds he creates and the characters he brought to life. I don't like how he sometimes over describes a part of a story though.
His books woke up my imagination when I was 13, since then I couldn't find something that comes even close to the incredible world he created.
I love Tolkien, Lewis and other fantastic authors...visit my blog/Facebook group about stories of Spiritual Refreshment at
