just came up with a thought. with all this harry potter hype refreshed and reloaded, with 8 books selling per second on saturday, and bla bla bla, i've been thinking, is J.K Rowling that big a phonomena? or did she just happen to be at the right place at the right era? fine, they hype that she's richer than the queen, she's ranked 122 on the Britian rich list, while the Queen is ranked 133. big deal. there's 132 people richer than the Queen in Britian. why make such a fuss over Rowling? just imagine, if Tolkien was around now instead of the 40's, u'd imagine what would happen. i mean, imagine if Lord of The Rings was released now instead of those 70 years back. no.....that wouldnt work. this is better, imagine that the same living conditions, technology, and economy existed during that time. who'd be a bigger success, Tolkien or Rowling? heck, i doubt Rowling would even be able to come up with Harry Potter and their magical friends...goblins, and stuff, without the initial ideas planted and sowed by Tolkien. u know u're a big thing, when there's many books of your pencil notes published after u passed from the world, and u actually create a world which people tell stories on, make games based on that, from card games to computer games, and there's even a Tolkien Society recognized worldwide. now thats big.Hail Tolkien
