The more times I read The Lord of the Rings, the more I love it, and the more important it is for me. I first discovered it in college, starting with The Hobbit (which is my recommended starting point). I deeply love Tolkien, this world, this universe, the legends, the histories, the people, and the story. The Greeks said that everything was in Homer. If you studied Homer, all virtue and understanding, everything you needed to know was in there. I feel the same way about the Lord of the Rings.

Still one of the most incredible experiences, regardless of how often I read the books or watch the movies. Even the appendecies are amazing. This is a story you read and feel inspired be--as a writer, to dare to create something as incredible as what you just beheld, even if it is something completely different. It's beautiful, tragic, graceful, and gritty all at once. And if anything is clear, Samn is the real hero of the story.
