Well, I have thought a lot about why I like LotR so much now and I must say that answering the question would take me hours. There are so many major reasons why I like it and then of course there are also all these little things which make LotR so fantastic. I've always thought about one certain major aspect why I like LotR so much and I though hey - that probably is the major reason why you like it so much, but in fact I found heaps of them. That also makes it very difficult for me to explain my obsession to other people, because it would take a huge amount of time to explain it properly.

I like the book because of how incredible the storyline is and how intricate Tolkien's creation (Middle-earth) is. Also, his characters have shades of grey in their personalities - they're not perfect, they're human (or Hobbit, or whatever else, haha) and they make mistakes. You really connect with them and you feel for them. I seriously don't understand how anyone could hate the book (though I know some people who do, and when one of them said she did it hurt me, which tells you something about just how much I love it).
As for the movies, they are a cenimatic gem - beautiful sets and costumes, wonderful actors, and a great script with many lines straight from the book. And as my friend said: "They kept the spirit of Tolkien in the movies." I don't personally think that any other movie ever made can come close to how incredible these movies are...and same for the books and Tolkien's world.

Hmm..suppose I like LOTR because its Fantasy, and the plotline is incredible and Middle-Earth has so much detail-Tolkien created a whole new world. There are so many histories about people and such..like there is in our world.

Ooo yeah, just remembered i adore the poetry

All that is gold does not glitter
Not all those who wander are lost
The old that is strong does not wither
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.


LOVE IT!

Well.. I just love everything!! I always loved fantasy stories, so one day my mom said to me, why won't you read LotR? Well.. I ended up seeing FotR first, and I completly loved it!! So I started to read the books, and I became totally in love with Lord of the Rings.. The story, The whole world behind it, the elves, the languages, the poems, the songs... everything!! It's just amazing!
