The fellowship of the ring, by JRR Tolkien

Ok. You know this is the first book of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, where Frodo and Samwise set out from the Shire to transport the ring to the council and thence on the falls at the edge of the elven realm, so what can I say about it?
I think what keeps me coming back to this is the way Tolkien plays with language and gives us a taste of what he thinks Elvish, Dwarvish, the common speech and the other languages of middle earth would look and sound like. I also enjoy the Hobbits' approach to life and food. I thoroughly approve of 6+ meals per day.
