You are not a nerd for reading those books and having the various pieces of middle earth art . If anything it shows that you have a very imaginative mind . I have also read the series and I personally think that it beats the movies by a wide margin . When I was a youth they had Middle earth movies and shows that would appear from time to time in illustrative form . To this day , I think that the illustrative form of the books is a way better method of showing the Classic tale than ANY human actor ever could be . Dont get me wrong I liked the movies as well , but they are no where to close to the original graphic novels .

Tolkien is the greatest author of our Modern era . He ranks right up with or above Mark Twain . He is the Jimi Hendrix of the writing world ..... In my mind anyways

After I'm done I plan to tackle the Silmarillion and go from there into Rating: 5
