LOTR # 1 in Netherlands

11/27/99, 12:52 am EST - Xoanon

This is a bit of good news I recieved from Sean van der Meulen:

According to a poll in a dutch newspaper, "de Gooi en Eemlander", Dutch readers voted Lord of the Rings their number one book of all times, with The Hobbit in at number nine. The number one position was gained by a large majority, and thanks to both younger and older readers voting for Tolkien's works, one of the only books to do so.
