A Christian can almost be forgiven for not reading the Bible, but there's no salvation for a fantasy fan who hasn't read the
gospel of the genre, J.R.R. Tolkien's definitive three-book epic, The Lord of the Rings (encompassing The Fellowship of the
Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King), and its charming precursor, The Hobbit. That many (if not most) fantasy
works are in some way derivative of Tolkien is understood, but the influence of The Lord of the Rings is so universal that
everybody from George Lucas to Led Zeppelin has appropriated it for one purpose or another. (from amazon.com : Editorial
