The Lord of the Rings
by J.R.R. Tolkien
I read the Lord of the Ring books, when I was a teen. I remember that I loved it, but the fog of time has obscured the details. Now I’m 56 and decided to read it again. Once I adapted to Tolkien’s style,
I was drawn into Middle Earth. The movies have colored my mental imagery of the characters and the landscape, but I didn’t mind it at all. If anything, it added to the richness and immersion into the story. It was also interesting to realize how heavily LOTR influenced our culture. I may reread this book every five years, to renew my memory and to see the story in a new light as I gain experience.
