Happy Birthday JRR Tolkien and Isaac Asimov!

A quick blog entry, but of utmost importance!!
Yesterday was Isaac Asimov's birthday, today is J.R.R. Tolkien's, born 122 years ago. Tolkien created the fantasy genre eventually named after him (although as his book "Children of Turin" shows he still wrote "high" fantasy). My book shelves (other than the Asimov shelf) is lined with books he influenced. Thank you for everything, Professors - both of you - and I mean everything...
