Bummer.

Reading LOTR amazes me, because the characters are actually believable. And Middle Earth is described in terms so vivid it isn't hard at all to imagine them.

He was amazing. Also, it took him 18 years to write LOTR. So, he had plenty of time to think up ideas.

Went through a war too.

Silmarillion, actually, and more specifically the Lay of Leithian.

He was trying to create a myth on the scale of those of Rome and Greece, but for England. Ultimately he failed in that manner, but redefined the fantasy genre completely.

And, he did die before he finished. The Sil's fragmented, the Second Age minimal, nothing was near what he wanted.

Eh, I'll spend some of eternity reading what he's got written up there.

Sounds like a plan. I think I might go flying. Or swing on my webs.

I'm pretty sure going to heaven doesn't make you some freakish combo of superman and Spiderman.

No... but I'm pretty sure there won't be any limits, either. So I could be if I wanted to!

No limits? If that were true Satan would have taken over heaven...

Obviously, no sin could exist in heaven... so you know what I mean.

Hmm...no, you should've put a qualifier on that.

He means, you don't make any sense. If there are no limitations, why the heck can't we sin?

Iknorite?
