original Lord of the Rings book covers
I have now made it through 41 hours of the first two books and I am well into the third. My first thought was, "I'm not sure how much more singing I can take!" But 41 hours later, I see why Tolkien has so many followers. The writing is beautiful and the stories are incredibly well thought out. The most impressive aspect is that he not only created a story, but an entire world, eco-system, languages, cultures and everything involved in making Middle Earth an actual existing place! Now days, I would say it's obsessive. But for his time, I say it's brilliant!
