The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien

5.0

---

I began The Lord of the Rings on Christmas 2018, in the morning, and I finished just now, around noon on December 31st, the day after my 50th birthday. Decades ago, it was practically my Bible, but I hadn't read the whole thing through in many years. I should to re-read it more often. The saddest, greatest, most involving, most thrilling, most beautiful world ever created in the English language, or so says I. I needed to revisit it, and I'm glad I did.
