The Lord of the Rings
J. R. R. Tolkien wrote the first line of The Hobbit on a blank page while he was marking exam papers, and it grew into the books that shaped modern fantasy. This hub is for anyone who knows which Dwarves set out for the Lonely Mountain, can tell whether a scene came from the page or from Peter Jackson's films, and has firm opinions about who to bring on the road to Mordor.
