The Lord of the rings is a novel written by JRR Tolkien
i love those books they are sooooo good!
It was initially intended to be one volume of a two-volume set
o really? does that include the hobbit
the other was going to be "The Silmarillion", but it was dismissed by his publisher.
I have never read that one!
It was never written but the others went on to sell 150 million copies. 
its true those books are loved by many
