This is likely the worst book in the universe!

This the first book of Tolkien's that I ever read. I think I was about 19 or 20. I was mesmerized by the dialects and the scenery. The names of creatures, people and places were wonderful. I had never read a book so full of imagination. Brimming over with an intelligence and wit unmatched by any other author, previously read by myself. I am so thankful this book was recommended to me, all those years ago. I have since read it at least 6 times in my life, and hope to read it at least once more. T

Ok, it was once a mark of nerdiness to have read this work but of course now everyone has read it or at least is sufficiently familiar with the tale to fake having read it. It is a great tale and a worthy pre-cursor to Lord of The Rings.
