He made the legends and myths cool, and established that making up your own can be cool as well.That said, though I enjoy the Lord of the Rings, some of it just dragged ON and ON and ON and I didn't care in the slightest. I mean, it's like it never occured to him that I don't give a flying fudge about his intricate history and legendary figures from Middle Earth, because none of them were as interesting as the story going on as the book was being told. I only care about Elrond, his spawn, the lords of Rohan, etc. as much as they directly affect the story.Don't get me wrong. Immensely enjoyable books. But yeesh, the guy can babble on the most obscure points of his history for such long periods that it gets rediculous. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
