RE: My precious

I love Tolkien too, and have read the Hobbit and the trilogy many times. I wait until I have mostly forgotten the books and read them all again, about every ten years. He was a fabulous writer!!!! His books leave a lot to the imagination, and wiht each reading we get to reimagine his worlds all over again.

I went to a Tolkien exhibition in Oxford, UK at the Boeian Library back in 2018 which displayed a lot of personal items and artwork including maps and drawings - it was a fascinating look into how he created Middle Earth.

These books seem to have the ability to maintain relevance across the decades and still capture people's imagination. Incredible writing.
