    Yeah. If I can manage to get through them then I will read the other Middle Earth novels as well.

    The big four. I still have my old tattered copy of Fellowship of the Ring I used to keep under my pillow for comfort in place of going to sleep with a stuffed animal at night.

    Reading Goosebumps and all that stuff is great stuff as a kid, but when you pick up a book like Fellowship of the Ring or The Hobbit for the first time, the magic you feel is indescribable. Fellowship is definitely the book I have reread the most out of them.

    The big four. It was hard to get through the trilogy though. I kinda hated the writing. Story was good but ugh.

    The Hobbit
    LotR
    The Shaping of Middle - earth
    The Lost Road and Other Writings
    The Lays of Beleriand
    Books one and two of The Lost Tales
    Unfinished Tales
    Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
    The Tolkien Reader
    The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún

    My mom bought me a giant stack of Tolkien books for Christmas a few years ago.

    While I enjoy the mythos of Middle-earth, I think his best works were Farmer Giles of Ham, The Adventures of Tom Bombadil, and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.

    I read a chapter of Fellowship, got bored, put it down and never picked it up again. Not a fan.

    I read the Silmarillion in addition to the big four. Beren's story is my favorite. I wish that got its own book, though it does have a good treatment in The Silmarillion.
