6. The Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkien, tells
the story of the War of the Ring in the world of
Middle-earth. The long novel-usually published as
three called a trilogy--centers around the magical
One Ring, discovered by Bilbo Baggins in the earlier
novel The Hobbit.
7. In ancient times the Rings of Power were
crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron,
the Dark Lord, forged the One Ring,
filling it with his own power so that he could
rule all others. But the One Ring was taken
from him, and though he sought it
throughout Middle-earth, it remained lost to
him.
After many ages it fell by chance into
the hands of the hobbit Bilbo Baggins.
8. The most excellent book. The Lord of the Rings is more
than just a story, and it captures the reader. I love the
fact that Lord of the Rings feels like history, and that it
has a never-ending hope in dark times. This book just
has so much to give.
