Tolkien Influences

This article is short, sweet, and to the point. I like that about it. It gives a brief listing of books that influenced Tolkien in his writing of the Lord of the Rings. I had read a few of them, but found this to be a good source of potential reading, the majority of which is public domain and available for free on a kindle.
