LOTR: What Is The Correct Order To Read Tolkien’s Books?

When thinking about fantasy universes that have incredibly expansive world, J.R.R. Tolkien’s stories about Middle-earth, The Lord of the Rings in particular, are some of the first works that come to mind. Tolkien managed to create a whole history and lore around the fictional world that he dreamed up for his books, inventing whole languages that differ between people groups. In other words, it’s a lot. And that’s precisely what a lot of fans and even casual observers appreciate about Tolkien’s work – there’s so much of it, and it was clearly a labor of passion. The amount of detail just makes the world feel that much more real and lived-in.
