I read "The Hobbit" for the first time when I was eight years old. I was totally hooked! My mother spent one summer hunting through yardsales and used book stores, and found all the trilogy, plus several other things, ( including a book of early sheet music!) And she wrapped them all and gave them to me for my tenth birthday! It was so wonderful!

The Lord of the Rings. I always thought movies were the greatest but damn the amount of lore in the books is insane. They're definitely amazing!

[@book.thangs]

They are truly amazing👌👌

[@fgdj2000]

Absolutely. Generally the way Tolkien writes is amazing. He conveys history, atmosphere, dread, even suspense and humor really well. I actually chuckled at some interactions (Gollum dropping the fish after Faramir calls him out on having hunted in the forbidden pool) and was so immersed that I actually forgot about something in the story and had genuine „oh sh!t“ Moments (the nazgul suddenly appearing at the edge of the dell below weather top and Gollum attacking Sam in Shelob‘s Lair). Love the films, but the book is actually so much more than the films could ever be.

[@book.thangs]

Definitely the world created by Tolkien is quite immersive and adventurous to read and can never be topped by movies.

[@fgdj2000]

@@book.thangs Definitely. But they did an amazing job adapting it to screen. Even The Hobbit films. PJ & Co. have an amazing eye for things that work on screen and things that don’t and even though they changed so many many details, they still managed to get Tolkien’s story across really well.

[@book.thangs]

That is so true!!!! Usually that’s not the case for series based on books.

Still need to get into that, unfortunately getting a physical copy (which is the only way to read) costs money and my economy is absolutely garbage so I need A LOT of it. Super glad I have my own stuffed bookshelf with other novels though, I can re-read the best while waiting for pay.

[@RightoftheLeaf]

I just finished reading the whole series last month for the first time. I'm so glad I waited until I could appreciate the full lore and world building.

[@tinu951]

The Hobbit is my comfort book. It was the first book of Tolkien I read and the first one from Tolkiens books i reread in English. It is so wholesome and funny and still has depht in it ( especially after reading the Silmarillion). It too has the perfect lenght and thus weight of a book to constantly carry it with oneself (i found it rather difficult to do so with Lord of The Rings). And the language! I am in love with Tolkiens writing style.

[@book.thangs]

For me it would be 'Restore Me' the fourth book of the 'Shatter Me' series. After the first three books the plot got a bit boring in the first pages of restore me so i left the book for a long time and then i decided to finally read it and im telling you THE PLOT TWIST IN IT WAS SO SHOCKING AND I KEPT ON READING UNTIL I FINISHED THE SERIES! I loved the series so much❤

[@pitchingwedge7546]

The Ring series by Koji Suzuki. Far from perfect books but I enjoyed the series more than I ever expected to. Ring (1991) Spiral (1995) Loop (1998) Birthday (1999) Nothing like the movies. Somewhat dated in a lot of ways but it's such an engaging trilogy that blends Sci Fi and horror in a way I've never seen, with each entry getting more insane and technological than the last. The inclusion of the 4th book was also really cool in it's structure. Instead of telling a bunch of random stories in the film's universe, suzuki used the short story to tell a prequel story to Ring, a midquel story to spiral, and a sequel to Loop I can say almost for certain that the series is batshit crazy and almost completely unadaptable. I still haven't read book 5 "S" and book 6 "Tide" is yet to be translated to English but I hope it is someday.

Harry Potter. I saw the films first when I was quite young. I love them but after reading the books for the first time, I regret not being able to read them first. I already knew the big twists and turns which kind of sucked. Though there were a lot of bits left out of the films that I got to experience for the first time, those usually ended up being my favourite parts from the books. I absolutely recommend the audiobooks for reading Harry Potter for the first time. I listened to Stephen Fry narrating whilst I read the novel. I've since listened to Jim Dale's narration. It is brilliant, though I still prefer Fry's a little more. Either way you choose to go is the definitive way to experience the Harry Potter story, in my opinion. The films are great, and the books were better, but the audiobooks are the best option undoubtedly.

Eh, I read the Hobbit for the first time a few years ago and I honestly thought the majority of it was boring, repetitive, and dragged on, save for some of the backstory. I’m not sure about trying to read the rest of the series since they seem like they would have a lot of potential and are a bit more dynamic. A few books I have read recently that I wish I had read as a kid or teen would be I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and Anne of Green Gables. Honestly, though, I probably would have gotten annoyed at the way everyone treated Anne and her constantly agreeing to change for the town-folk when I was younger, even though it is quite humorous and thoughtful. Maya Angelou would have been a comfort and insight to some of my own experiences.
