Being a legend of 1,086 pages, the Lord of the Rings is truly the only book one can read and feel like you've stepped off a train which has transported you from Tolkiens' world and back into yours. It is by far the longest book I have ever had the amazing pleasure and honor to read. I highly suggest you take part in Frodo's adventure with his faithly servant, Samwise, in a overly valiant effort to overthrow the dark lord, Sauron. It is a tale of triumph and defeat; of death and glory; and of sadness and great joy. If you do not read this book, you will be doing yourself a great injustice.
