Have you read The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien?
I have not. Haven't every really been interested in it. Maybe, because I do not know much about it. Could you enlighten me?
Sure! It's a fantasy novel written by Tolkien as a sequel to "The Hobbit", but it become a trilogy while he was writing it.
Oh, ok. I didn't realize there was 3. Do you think there will be any more?
Probably not. He died in 1973. They released movies based on the books in 2001, 2002, and 2003, though.
Oh my, I guess I really need to get in the groove of things. I had no idea they were written that long ago. Can you tell me more on the story line?
A wizard named Gandolf asks some humans, elves, dwarfs, and hobbits to join him on a quest to destroy a magic ring that would allow the antagonist, Sauron, to conquer the world. 
Sounds like it could be interesting and something I may check out one day. Is there a particular one you like best out of them?
It's been a few years since I read it, but the middle book, The Two Towers, was my favorite. Reading The Hobbit first is probably your best bet, though. And it's a lot shorter to get through.
Yes, I would definitely start with the first one so I would know what was going on. Would you say the ending of the the last one was a happy ending or a sad ending?
