Often.

I've downloaded Lord of the Rings. It's in the queue.

I'm genuinely worried.

And I, on the other hand, am extremely excited for what is to come.

To be fair, it's pretty easy to tear Tolkien a new asshole. He was a linguistic genius, and he created a world, history and creation story in full technicolour, but he wasn't very good at talking about it. I think if someone else had taken his source material and written LOTR it would actually be a much better book.
