Do you pride yourself on knowing all you can about The Lord of the Rings? This book can teach you quite a bit about the one who knows more than any fan: Tolkien himself. From his early life to post-publication habits, a lot of material makes it into this small book. It is very concise, but still very enthralling to read. Duriez has a way with biographical words. Having written seven titles about members of the Inklings (five of which concerned Tolkien), and one on C.S. Lewis being released later this year, Duriez certainly proves a perfected knowledge of Tolkien's life and work, alongside those of the other Inkling members.

As I've read more and more of Tolkien's works, I've begun to realize just how much I love his writing. The Silmarillion is no different. In this book, Tolkien collects the miscellaneous legends about the First Age of Middle Earth, including its creation and the fall of Melkor. Though reading this work can be slightly discombobulating, it's also an absolute must for any Lord of the Rings buff.

The Return of the King is the third and final volume of JRR Tolkien’s series, The Lord of the Rings. In my opinion, it is probably the most exciting, and most captivating of the books. Tolkien does a good job of keeping you excited even past the climax of the book. Many things keep happening, and it makes you want to keep flipping pages.
