I think also when you came to these books makes a huge difference to how you feel about them. My brother read them as a early teenager and it made a massive impact on his life, I read them in my late 20s and they're "just " a set of books I worked my way through as part of a effort to read some "classics"

Do they give themselves a cringey name? Like Trekkies, Whovians or Potterites?

If not, may I suggest Tolkeenies?

The Tolkien Heads?

BBC piece on the subject and the teaser trailer.

Why's it popular? That's a view that not many blokes wouldn't appreciate seeing:

I do hope that's pre-production CGI in the trailer as it looks like a dodgy video game or LOTR meets Twilight.

Teaser trailer looks a bit fantasy-by-numbers.

I'm guessing Wheel of Time will turn out to be better, when it's all done.

Did we do a Wheel of Time thread?
