The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien

I feel this is a pointless book review to write, since so many people practically worship the book and its cult status means there is tons and tons of information available.  But for people who aren't in love with the movies and have never dressed up like a wizard or hobbit and don't want to (like me), I will include a review of this book, which was number 4 on the Modern Library reader's list of 100 best English-language novels.  The trilogy is actually quite entertaining. although I found the second book a little slow at times.  You can enjoy these books without being a huge fan.
