Reading has always been a joy of mine, but it never truly took off until I read Lord of the Rings. The story, world building, and characters just drew me in and I have never found anything in literature that I love as much, though not for lack of trying.
However as much as I enjoy Tolkien, for some reason I had only ever read The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, so recently I decided to remedy that and look into everything else he had written. In doing so I discovered that Tolkien`s world was far bigger than I had known so I started my collection of his works since he has been such a big influence in my love of reading. It has only just begun and will hopefully continue to grow as I scour the used book stores in my area. So here is the lowly beginnings of what will one day be a vast and beautiful collection.
