I can't even untangle my own influences, let alone Tolkien's. Many times I've re-read an old favorite and said, "Oh, THAT'S where I got that idea from."

Yes, that's why I put "acknowledgements" to a number of writers at the end of my book. People seem to grok all of them except G. Gordon Liddy (any of youse guys read any of his books?)
