I am not ashamed to admit that I am utterly perplexed by the massive interest people seem to have in elves, goblins, "Hobbits", wizards and other figments of Tolkein's over-active imagination. No..... Just NO.

I share your apathy for Tolkein. I've tried to read The Lord of the Rings on about 4 or 5 occasions and have never got past about halfway through The Return of the King.
