I read it because it is the most amazing, touching, complete piece of fantasy literature that I have ever read. I love that it seems so real, and that it contains so many themes that are so timeless that they are going to be around until the end of the world. There is nothing like the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. They were so groundbreaking at the time, and so unique. I read them because I love the world he has created and because I deeply love and care about the charaters. I read it because it is just so brilliantly wonderful.
