The Cosmic Connections between Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and Jordan's Wheel of Time Series

Welcome to my LOTR/WOT comparison page. I figured that I'd list the many connections I saw between the 2 epic tales. Some of the comparisons are rather loose; others have more of a literary basis. If you would like to contribute some connections of your own, feel free to email me. Please don't go beyond the 2nd book...it's my current read, and I'd rather not have anything else spoiled! Thank you!
