For me: Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy.

I had seen the movie but never read the book before. It was a lot better than I expected.

Also what is your current/next book?

I’m continuing the saga with The Restaurant At The End Of The Galaxy.

        Isn’t like the entire first half of The Fellowship Of The Ring devoted to the birthday party? 🎉

        Tom Bombadil and such almost enticed me to read it but that party though… 🥳

          Yeah it totally isn’t easy reading lol. Just compared to The Silmarillion it feels that way.

            I have only read the prologue to The Silmarillion, but most of the lore I know from LOTR is just from reading Wikipedia for the specific topics I was wanting to know about. How cool is it that the knowledge has passed from being available solely in book form to becoming part of the basic culture of the Western world:-).
