The Fellowship of the Ring

There's little one can say to sum up the folklore genius which is Tolkien. Few can create such vast, believable worlds and societies than this gatekeeper of high fantasy. Frodo's journey is riddled with underlying philosophies and struggles that, to this day, make up the fabric of modern society.

For any lover of literature, reading through Tolkien's epic of Middle Earth is an absolute must. To list the names of those such writings influenced would be foolish. Rather, pick up this book and begin to imagine just how much work would have gone into producing such a beautiful piece of writing.

As a note to lovers of the movies: do please read this book. The level of detail it chases after isn't intimidating - but rather, enticing. Things that simply couldn't have occurred in the film adaption live among the pages of this novel - and that alone demands your attention.
