The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien.
Don't think I need to explain what it's about at this point. As to what drew me to read it multiple times, that's due to it still being the greatest high fantasy story ever created. And it's a very balanced story. Every character, even the most powerful ones, has their flaws and weaknesses. Every choice has consequences, and could be the undoing of everything that the heroes are working towards.
Man, I love that book.
- garyrob 4y agoI read it in my late teens/early 20's and was planning to reread it when I'd forgotten enough of the plot that I could fully enjoy it again. Then, unfortunately, the movies came out! Maybe read it again anyway? Not sure.
- jasone 4y agoI read it at age 11, again at age 28. The difference in personal experience was remarkable. The best parts of the story were very different between those ages.
