He’d puke reading the “literature” of today. I’ve read Tolkein so many times, I’ve memorized it. Now, I’m re-discovering Dickens.

Happy Birthday, Professor Tolkein! Thank you for an epic of sheer terror and joy!

The battle for Helm’s Deep is one of the greatest battle scenes.

Agreed. I’m re-reading LoTR now and plan on re-reading The Sillmarillion again as well.

If you like Tolkein, I would think that Trollope would agree with you better than Dickens . . .

. . . that's just my opinion, but give The Warden or Barchester Towers a shot.
