I love the Lord of the Rings universe. It's an incredibly awesome book that has millions of fans all over the world. This is quite justified because it has great characters with a very interesting past. The plot is so gripping that the reader literally forgets about everything. The same thing happened to me. I especially like Thorin-II-Oakenshield. This is my favorite character whose biography I know literally by heart. I know all about him, so I can debate him with you if you'd like.
