Tolkien enthusiasts since the &#8220;Lord of the Rings&#8221; films put his fantasy world of Middle-earth on screen, Tolkien&#8217;s most avid admirers still risk being labeled geeks. But wearing elf ears or not, they are a force to be reckoned with. &#8220;The Lord of the Rings&#8221; has sold 200 million copies in 39 languages. The movies based on the novel broke box-office records. And while Tolkien, the Oxford don who created &#8220;Rings,&#8221; &#8220;The Hobbit&#8221; and &#8220;The Silmarillion,&#8221; died in 1973, this year will be another big one for him.
