Well, Ph, feel free to keep deluding yourself that Tolkien is as deep and enriching as Conrad and Wagner. Like Lucas's Star Wars stories, Tolkien's are nothing more than simplistic rehashes of traditional and time honored themes. The fact that you call Tolkien's books "Literature" when they are merely pulpy pop-culture entertainment speaks volumes.Not sure why you keyed on the "someone like me" statement as being some egotistical remark . . . It could just as easily been the word "someone" by itself.
If my words have not bothered you, why continue harping on them so much for days and days? To what end? And again, I said these things not as an insult to those that enjoyed the Tolkien stories, it's YOU that chose to take them that way.
You can continue with your weak and unfounded complaints about my being "uninformed", but the reality is that you choose to read much more into the Tolkein stories than is actually there.
Again, with the winning and losing analogies (WRT to the poker comment)! You are the only man on the battlefield. Talk about chasing windmills . . . !
