    From what I've read, I have never seen anything to suggest that Tolkien's world was necessarily a globe - although I am not a total tolkien expert. There is a map in the Silmarillion where he depicts the undying lands which is effectively heaven by any other name, (see below) so it all gets a bit fuzzy as to how attached to our understanding of reality Tolkien's world was meant to be.

    As Ghostman said, fantasy worlds can be whatever you want them to be. I think it almost helps with the fantasy feel in having vast amounts of the world just blank - gives that 'here be dragons' unexplored type of vibe.
