Very true. Any Tolkien fan visiting England should not pass up the opportunity to sip a pint in the Eagle and Child in St. Giles (a wide street in Oxford). <http://users.ox.ac.uk/~tolksoc/TolkiensOxford/bird_and_baby.html> It's very atmospheric in there - probably mostly as it was all those years ago. Tolkien's not the problem for me - I've always hated fantasy - goblins and dragons and sleepy little hollows with elves lurking about placing spells on folk passing through. Utter cobblers! Give me deep space and a few grizzly aliens any day!
