No introduction nessessary for these books, I think. J.R.R. Tolkien's massive and wonderful epic about a Ring the end of the world and something like that. 
Who's a fan?

I think that the LOTR triology is not half as good as the Hobbit. But yeah Tolkien is a great writer.

the hobbit is a great book! in a different league to the LOTR trilogy though, but much easier to read.

Hobbit is really meant for small children, but it's a good book just like the LOTR books. I like the Silmarilion as well. It's a great epic, although I found the chapter on geography dry. I think I'll skip it when I reread it. The last time I think I read these books was September 2004. I want to reread them again, but I've got a few other books that I haven't read yet and want to get to.

I'm currently reading 'The Hobbit' for the first time ever. I got the whole set for X-mas (Box-set: Hobbit, FOTR, TTT, ROTK paperbacks). I only seen the EE movies about a million times and was interested in reading the books. I'm up to chapter 5 so far. Its allright..a bit too simple and kiddie, and random for my tastes but quite interesting though honestly I can't wait till I get to FOTR.

I've reading and rereading LOTR at least once a year for the last 20 years and I never get tired of it.
Yes, my name is Goldilocks and I'm Tolkien addicted.

You've forgotten about The Silmarillion.
That's my favourite Tolkien's book.

I need to get them one day. I read them ages ago, hated the LOTR films so much I didn't even bother watching them again, and now can't remember details and such. I did like them when I read them though, The Hobbit moreso than LotR.

Hobbit is not a bad book, but LOTR trilogy is somewhat deeper, the story is more developed.

Yeah, but if you're reading it when you're 9 you don't understand it nearly as much

The Hobbit is very good and easy to read. The LOTR Trilogy is a little hard, but very good too. I'm a fan of all the Literature about Arda, and all this.

I like the Hobbit because it reminds me of simpler times. Times before the War of the Ring. Kinda makes me sad.

The Hobbit was the first book I can remember reading by myself. It's always going to have a special plce in my heart I just love that whole buried treasure adventure story feel the book has to it.
