I came across this quote in my Literature and Film class today. It's pretty good.
"The Lord of the Rings is a touchstone. If someone dislikes it, I shall never trust [his] literary judgement about anything again. It is a touchstone for more than literary judgement; it is a touchstone for one's whole personality. Those who love Tolkien are almost always good people, honest people. Some are Hobbit like and some are Elvish, but none are Orcish. Not all Tolkien haters are Orcs, but all Orcs are Tolkien haters." ~W.H. Auden

Good quote. I totally agree. I think I would classify anyone in our family as elves.
