lord of the rings 

Lord of the Rings is a masterpiece. It was originally intended to be all one book, but it was divided into three books, and each separate book is divided into two books (confused yet?). The story actually begins in "The Hobbit," where Bilbo Baggins discovers the One Ring in Gollum's lair (which, at the time, was in a cavern within the Misty Mountains). Then in "The Fellowship of the Ring," Bilbo grants the ring to his nephew, Frodo, and then departs to start a new and relaxed life (but they soon meet up in Rivendell). Gandalf teaches Frodo that the One Ring was forged in the fires of Mount Doom for the Dark Lord, Sauron. Three rings were given to the Elves, seven to the dwarves, and nine to the men, but it was the One Ring that could mean peril to all that is good in Middle Earth if it was brought back into the hands of the Dark Lord. Frodo had to return it to the one place it could be destroyed, Mount Doom, in the heart of Mordor. Frodo originally sets off with Pippin, Sam, and Merry. They find themselves in Rivendell, where the council of Elrond takes part. Elrond adds Boromir, Aragorn, Legolas, Gandalf, and Gimli to Frodo's party, and they become the Fellowship. To read of their perilous adventures through Middle Earth is to take an adventure through the ancient trees of Lorien, to journey through the dank darkness of Moria, and to wade in the waters of the sacred Nimrodel. If you're into fantasy, then Lord of the Rings is for you.

One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, one ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them...

Lord Of The Rings 

A novel of epic proportions by TRR Tolkien. It is however, only the tip of the iceberg of his writtings on middle earth. A truly awesome work which was not done justice by its big screen production.
Anyone who denounces this book is obviously too stupid to read it or has the attention span of a 5 year od on speed.

Have u read lotr?
I started it last year but still haven't finished.

Lord of the Rings 

1. noun TLOTR is often erronously called a trilogy, when in fact it is a single novel, consisting of six books plus appendices, sometimes published in three volumes.
The first volume, TFOTR, was published on 29 July 1954 in England, 'with an edition for the USA following' on 21 October of the same year.
The second volume, TTT, was published in England on 11 November 1954 and in the United States on 21 April 1955.
Volume three, TROTK, finally appeared in England on 20 October 1955 and in the United States on 5 January 1956.
With the appearance ot the third volume, TLOTR was published in its entirety, and its first edition text remained virtually unchanged for a decade. (Tolkein made a few small corrections, but further errors entered TFOTR in its second impression when the printer, having distributed the type after the first printing, reset the book without informing the author or publisher.)
In 1965, stemming from what then appeared to be copyright problems in the United States, an American paperback firm published an unauthorized and non-royalty paying edition of TLOTR.

2. noun (the cinematic masterpieces of considerable acclaim) TLOTR was adapted for the screen by Peter Jackson in the beginning of the 21st century. The New Zealand born director released three separate movies based upon the three volumes of TLOTR.

Lord of the Rings Online 

A new massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) made by Turbine featuring the world of The Lord of The Rings by Sir John Ronald Reuel Tolkien also known as J.R.R. Tolkien. As known as LOTRO, the real name is The Lord of the Rings Online : Shadows of Angmar. The game features itself in Eriador (the region extending from the Shire to the Misty Mountains and including Angmar) where you can be one of 4 races containing the Elves, the Hobbits, Men and Dwarves.

This game could rival World of Warcraft and it is not as addictive as WoW yet. LOTRO will more than anything annoy you with all the different quests and deeds to accomplish, and if you ever enter the Shire, you will leave with a death wish for all those annoying hobbits who cannot do anything by themselves and must ask you to endanger you life for absolutely pointless thing, with useless food as reward.

Hobbit (NPC of the Lord of the Rings Online): Hello stranger, I killed a deer with my sling, but a bear came and took off with the deer carcass to the bears-den up north. Would you accept to go retrieve my precious sling?

You: What? But they're bears! They will tear me up and devour my corpse! Aw heck, I'll do it.

*Goes to the bear's den and comes back after many deaths and torn limbs.*

You: There! I have your sling! Now give me my reward!

Hobbit: Oh! Thank you stranger! Here are some boiled carrots for your brave efforts.
