Can one enjoy Tolkien after Charlie Kirk died? I think so

You see, as a man was saying, Tolkien is reading for grief and darkness. Reading to lift you up and lift your hope.

Emotionally, and rationally, in a sub-Christian way (Tolkien imitated the method of the Beowulf poet who as a Christian set his narrative among people who had not yet heard the Gospel).
