Books to Read Before You Die
In creating this list of books one should read before they die, I hoped to make a cache for each of them. I’ll start with about a dozen, and hopefully add to it every so often. I hope you enjoy the short summaries and will read the book, or remember that you once did. They are all available for free at your public libraries.
Please comment in you logs about any particulars you enjoyed most.
The Lord of the Rings
The Lord of the Rings is an epic high fantasy novel by the English author and scholar J. R. R. Tolkien. Set in Middle-earth, the world at some distant time in the past, the story began as a sequel to Tolkien's 1937 children's book The Hobbit, but eventually developed into a much larger work. Written in stages between 1937 and 1949, The Lord of the Rings is one of the best-selling books ever written, with over 150 million copies sold.
