I find it so odd how some books or sources can trigger such rabid love. This isn't meant as an insult, it's honest curiosity. Most books people like or dislike, but then every now and then comes along a book that people don't just like, they adore and love and cannot understand how anyone in the world could have a different opinion on. And Tolkien is definitely one of those topics of rabid devotion.

I've read Fellowship and started the next and just..did not get though it. I found it boring. There were nuggets here and there and beautiful imagery and, as someone who has taken a lot of anthropological linguistics classes, I can even admire his use and creation of language. But still, mostly just boring.

But I totally get what you're saying. I feel the same way about Nature (basically the world in general). I find forests and animals and the ocean so heartbreaking breathtakingly beautiful and amazing, and I am just baffled by people who dismiss it.

So, I get it, I'm just saying the different ways in which people view the world, and what gets to them, is just weird and curious and interesting.

I wouldn't say that I have a rabid devotion to Tolkien, because then that makes me seem rather delusional and obsessed. Just as nature inspires that ineffable something that resonates within you, so too does Tolkien with me. I read the series when I was 11, and was completely captivated.

Honestly, I think it's cool how different things inspire and move different people :)

Oh yeah, rabid wasn't meant to be a negative. Maybe wrong word choice. English, it's not my friend.

No worries! :)
