Favorite Book — The Lord of the Rings
Let me tell you about my favorite book.
There once lived a university professor named John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, more commonly known as J.R.R. Tolkien. He was a grandfatherly figure who loved words. He loved them so much that he started inventing his own.
These invented words would eventually create the Elvish language. But what are words without a story? They are amorphic sounds with nowhere to go.
He loved his words so much that he wanted to give them a home. Numenor, Middle Earth, and the Undying Lands are only a few places he created for his beloved words.
Eventually, these homes would become populated with little boys and girls. But as in all places, darkness eventually crept in. Saddened by the darkness, Tolkien dutifully recorded the deeds of heroes in multiple books we can still read today.
The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and many other bound collections depict this fanciful world of elves, dwarves, and men.
