Favorite Book

My favorite book series is ‘The Lord of the Rings Trilogy’ by J.R.R. Tolkien. The ‘Lord of the Rings Trilogy’ is composed of the following three books: ‘The Fellowship of the Ring,’ ‘The Two Towers,’ and the ‘Return of the King.’ The series chronicles the adventures of Frodo Baggins and his companions, who are sent on a quest to destroy the One Ring and vanquish the Dark Lord Sauron. The book was written by Tolkien in the early 20th century when he was a professor at Oxford; however the book was not published until the 1950s.
In December of 2001, I spent the holidays with my family on Guam. During the break, I attended a screening of the ‘Fellowship of the Ring’ with my cousins who dragged me along to watch with them even though I showed no interest in the movie.
Although I walked into the movie with low expectations, afterwards I developed a deep appreciation for the movie and the ‘Lord of the Rings’ universe. I bought a copy of the first book on Guam and eventually the second and third books on Saipan. However, I did not limit myself to reading the books, but I purchased ‘Lord of the Rings’ memorabilia as well.
The Lord of the Rings has always been an inspiration when I write short stories of fiction and has also interested me in the world of Norse mythology which plays a huge influential role in the ‘Lord of the Rings.’

    What you wrote really stimulate me to read the book that you read. I watched the movie that adapted from the book. It was impressive, so I tried to read the book but it was so hard to read to me. I could get Korean version but I want to read the original version. Anyways, I believe someday I'll be able to read that book lol
