The Lord of the Rings Trilogy


"Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky

Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,

Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die

One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne

In the Land of Mordor where Shadows lie.

One Ring to rile them all, One Ring to find them

One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie."

One of the best books that I have read is The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. I also had to re-read some of the pages since I found some words hard to understand. I especially like the Elven language. It fascinated me. I remember a statement made by Legolas. "Natha dhaga thaya!" It meant, "they will all die!" It was good that I did not settle for merely watching the movie. The novel actually had more to offer. If you found the movie superb, wait 'til you read the books.

Oh yes! LOTR is mind blowing!
And I insist as a rule that you watch the movies only after you finish reading the books!
The movie just add faces to whatever you've dreamed up in you're head!
Excellent choice Yigae!
