The Lord of the Rings
The Lord of the Rings | J. R. R. Tolkien
The novel of the century, now with new movie tie-in art, color endpaper maps, flaps, and more. 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 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. From his fastness in the Dark Tower of Mordor, Sauron's power spread far and wide. He gathered all the Great Rings to him, but always he searched for the One Ring that would complete his dominion. On Bilbo's eleventy-first birthday, he disappeared, bequeathing to his young cousin, Frodo, the Ruling Ring and a perilous quest: to journey across Middle-earth, deep into the shadow of the Dark Lord, and destroy the Ring by casting it into the Cracks of Doom. The Lord of the Rings tells of the great quest undertaken by Frodo and the Fellowship of the Ring: Gandalf the Wizared; the hobbits Merry, Pippin, and Sam; Gimli the Dwarf; Legolas the Elf; Boromir of Gondor; and a tall, mysterious stranger called Strider.

I couldn‘t sleep so I came to read #LotRChapteraDay #FellowshipofTolkien out on the couch to deal with my heartburn in a sitting position. The cats joined me. 🥰 #CatsofLitsy Our Fellowship leaves (after Breakfast.. of course) to continue their journey. The hobbits learn more of the Black Riders from their new companion. Strider tells them a Middle Earth story, and they find themself in danger. Frodo uses the ring 😱. @Daisey @JazzFeathers

I did read #FellowshipofTolkien yesterday #LotRingsChapteraDay I honestly don‘t remember Tom and his upbeat, always singing, character. I was surprised that Frodo without question showed him the ring. Plus was concerned after when Tom took it away from him and Frodo had to check it was the same one. I‘m not sure if Tom is a good or bad character after that. Are the hobbits trapped in another snare? @Daisey @JazzFeathers

Daisey He is quite an interesting and hard to decipher character! 1mo

I can identify with the hobbits, specifically with Frodo and Sam. In the beginning of the book Frodo really doesn't want to go to Mordor and he's frustrated that fate put the Ring in his hands. He just wants to stay home, eat food and be happy, not go on some adventure. I can relate to wanting to just stay home and chill, but having something unpleasant in your life that's out of your control and prevents you from just enjoying yourself.

The Lord of the Rings, reread after 10 years. Savored this book over the month of January and didn‘t want it to end. It was a much more emotional read for me this time, all around.

My “big book” for 2023 with my mom is Tolkien‘s trilogy, which I‘ve never read. I loved The Hobbit, which we read together a few years ago. It‘s such a cultural touchstone and I‘m late, but finally coming to the party, by way of this decrepit set my library gave away.

RamsFan1963 I love this edition of The Fellowship of the Ring. It is the one a found in my high school library, I didn't know who Tolkien was, I didn't know it was a trilogy (or that they didn't have the other two books 😖), but the cover really caught my eye. 9mo
Michael_Gee @RamsFan1963 Aw, nice! The library had all three still in the cardboard sleeve, so I‘m going to be spending the year with all of them. The covers are all beautiful. 9mo
Reggie I read these after the movies and they are real close. I enjoyed them. Although I kinda think they should have turned that last movie into 2 movies and I think you‘ll see why. 9mo
tonymp Wow, that's a blast from the past and also my own physical book shelf! I have all of the Tolkien editions from that time period because when they were printed I was a child, read them, and kept them all these years. 7mo
