The Hobbit, J. R. R. Tolkien

Most of you will already be familiar with this book but for those who aren't I highly recommend it. It is, of course, similar to The Lord of the Rings but The Hobbit is a children's book which means you can expect a much easier and faster read. Travel with Bilbo and experience the ups and downs of his adventures, it's great fun.

The Lord of the Rings, J. R. R. Tolkien

For me The Lord of the Rings suffers from the common problem of many fantasy novels, lots of pages. Saying that, this is a classic and it's worth making the effort at least once. For an easier read try The Hobbit. If you need to be inspired to read the book then try the film first.
