The Lord of the Rings

I absolutely love Tolkien's Creation in general, and LOTR and The Hobbit in particular! I read them at least once a year; since I first read LOTR at 8 years old, that makes it about 10 readings + god-knows-how-many times I've watched the movie... Even though the text is poorly conveyed, the movie is good on its own (excluding monster Legolas — not for his behavior or appearance, but for his unimaginable and absolutely unrealistic coolness in battle — and feminist Arwen from the first part; in the others, she corresponds quite well to the book version in the movie).
I would especially recommend Tolkien's Articles on literature, fairy tales, and mythology to fans... Simply great! Not to mention such gems as the story "Farmer Giles of Ham":)

PS - the top is correct! Saruman, approved!:)
