No, mon ami, you are wrong. Tolkien was a sane genius, and that's why he was so great.

*raises hand* LoTR fan- not obsessive (I don't know elvish and go around quoting lines from the Silmarillion), but I do have a profound respect for Tolkien's genious.

I've read The Hobbit, LOTR, and the Silmarillion.   Tolkien pretty much established to Fantasy genre of lit.  Not a bad accomplishment.
