This is the guy who wrote my beloved Lord of the Rings books. Some of you may, or may not, have seen the movies. If you have, you'll know what an epic adventure it is! Well, it all started with this man, and his book "The Hobbit". His other works include "The Silmarillion", "The Lord of the Rings", and his various pieces of poetry! Discuss these books here!

i absolutly love L.O.T.R. and the hobbit haven't read the silmarillion but intend to

Silmarillion is harder to read, but it is really cool anyways! I'm just a little obssessed ^_^ Did you know Tolkien was born in South Africa? I live there...and there is a Brandywyn river outside the city I live in!
