About the Lord of the Rings, it's alsop one of my favourite books ! I've never seen this thread before and that's a good way to share all our readings ! The Lord of the Rings, I've read it in french (of course) and bought the UK book but just started to read it (a bit hard but very interesting !).
At the moment, I'm reading not really a book but a manual of "English literature", which is really interesting !
