  One book to rule them all

  Immense... I had always believed in the hands of a master craftsman, in a sublime storyteller. Tolkien in his epic reaffirmed my faith... Tolkien's work is water in a dry place.

  I got the Danish version when I was fourteen, and have read that about 15 times by now. The English version I have only read 2 or 3 times, but this book will stay with me for the rest of my life, no matter which language I read it in. Besides, the Danish translation is pretty darn good too

  i read it several times in italian and now i'm doing it in english.
  the story is fantastic because it is beyond space and time and deals with themes of every age.
  what makes it enjoyable by everyone is that it contains both the mighty of the Kings and the "simple" of the country.
  I often think of great battles and of the ancient glory of Gondor reading the appendix.
  But the chapter I like the most is three is company: an innocent and merry journey through a beatiful and peaceful land, with just an unknown shadow that makes it an adventure.
  There is too muchto say and I will enjoy to have a discussion with anyone very much, so every feedback is most welcome.

  Ridateci Tolkien, per pietà.

  Three rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
  Seven for the Dwarfs-lord 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 the Shadows lie.
  One ring to rule them all, One ring to find them,
  One ring to bring them all ... (continue)

  One ring to rule 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.
