Reading the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings trilogy several times over is one of life’s greatest pleasures.
Each time through one discovers many new treasures.
The Return of the King is my absolute favorite.
I first read The Hobbit in nineteen seventy nine, Quickly followed by The Lord of the Rings series.
Those very books are still part of my library, today.
