Some of us really don’t like fantasy. Even well-written fantasy.

There is a lot of good teaching in the Lord of the Rings that you really wouldn’t find anywhere else.

LOTR stands out as the BEST example of Fantasy ever written
Tolkien was a master craftsman

If one is at all susceptible to the genre, it is wonderful

If I was feeling mischievous, I’d suggest Harry Potter.

But I’m not, so I won’t. :-0

I’ve never been drawn to read fantasy but recently began “The Fellowship of the Ring”.

It’s fantastic!

Tolkien is one of the very best writers I’ve read.

Happen to be reading it now, a bit each night before falling asleep.
Found a like-new, hardcover copy at charity table and grabbed it.
It’s good to read once more before my inevitable departure.
I’m at, ‘The Passage of the Marshes’, in The Two Towers
