\"LordoftheRings001\"<\/a>Discussion Forum member Ethel Duath recently posted a link<\/a> to an article on slate.com<\/a> regarding a simple answer to a simple question: why is The Lord of the Rings<\/em> considered such a classic? Did I say a simple? Ernest W. Adams<\/a>, who answered the question on Quora, considered it to be J.R.R. Tolkien’s development of languages and back-story for Middle-earth and each of its races. A great answer! But, is it that simple? No doubt we each have our opinions on the best answer, or answers, to that question. Why do you<\/em> think The Lord of the Ring<\/em>s is such a classic?\u00a0 Let us know in the article comments and\/or weigh in on our poll. While you’re thinking about it, check out Mr. Adams’ reasoning in the slate.com article here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
