Atlas Shrugged and the Capital are mutually interchangeable in that quote.

I don't like the quote also because it implies that the reader would consider LOTR childish, thus accusing the reader of being a complete imbecile.

In the broad strokes absolutely, in the detail hell no. I had to learn linguistic theories and botany to get to the bottom of everything going on in the books
