Tolkien said the only similarity between The One Ring and Wagner's The Ring of the Nibelung was that they were both round. Also, didn't Tolkien openly admit to influences of Norse and other mythology in his writing? So what? Every writer has his influences and when he openly attributes them, then why all the fuss? I read the Silmarillion several times and though I wouldn't say I enjoyed it as much as LOTR, it served as the foundation of understanding for the origination of Middle Earth, and I consider a work of genius. My son pointed out that he believes that Tolkien, as philologist, really wanted some framework to hang all his invented Elvish languages on...and that he didn't really consider himself a great writer. I happen to know that Clark admires CS lewis as a writer, and Lewis truly admired and was friends with Tolkien. I would like to have heard a few of their conversations. Have you read the CS Lewis sci-fi trilogy in which the main hero is patterned after Tolkien?
