So, I made a video.
A very silly video.
Spoilers follow for the entire Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
Also, I'm sorry.

Why not?
SpoilerYou absolutely should read it. Tolkien's writing is the foundation of modern family fantasy and the cause of a lot of tropes and conventions that we have today. That's not to say he invented fantasy, as I've heard said. He modernized it, brought it to the forefront of literature.
I could recommend any one of more than a dozen fantasy series, but if someone hasn't read LotR, I always suggest they read that first. It is an incredible piece of writing, and well worth the read.
SpoilerAlso his prose is gorgeous.

@Kajsa That's sad. You should also watch the movies if you ever have a chance. Extended edition if possible And thank you for the compliment!
(i'm not trying to be aggressive, watch what you want, but you should see it at some point in your life. And read it too, because you don't want to miss the singing, dancing version of Hoid that isn't in the movie that you will NEVER understand, because nobody does! And also the evil trees that eat you and the wizard-ruining-your-childhood scene.)
So, yeah. I second @The cheeseman's motion, haha, sorry for the torrent of words
@Just a Silvereye Thank you for the compliment! Yes, this is quite a song. I just Connected this song with The One Ring and couldn't get them unConnected.
