It always irks me when people misspell Tolkien's name. However, I've known for a long time that many people have different opinions. Which isn't to say that there's nothing wrong with anything that's liked by people. Dragonball Z *is* rather shallow entertainment, Wheel of Time *is* very verbose at times, and Tolkien does spend a lot of time describing sweeping vistas. If you don't like those aspects, that's fine. Whenever someone says that something is 'boring' or 'not cool', or anything vague like that, they're saying more about themselves than about the subject at hand. :-) Heh… It always irks me when people misspell Tolkien’s name.
