I am not a big reader, I actually most of the time hate to read, I feel I could do much more with my time. But there is one particular book series that I could read over and over again. That is the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I think the way Tolkien writes these books is beautiful. I first read them when i was in 8th grade. Before I read these I was never into those fairy tale/magic forms of mass media. Still to do this day, Lord of the Rings is the only media that I enjoy in this genre. I was nervous when the movies first came out because I did not want them to ruin the books. But Peter Jackson, did a wonderful job portraying Tolkien's ideas into his movies. Not only is the movie in the magic genre it also could be put into action and there is even a little bit of romance throughout the series. I am not the type of person that when I'm down, I want to escape to this magical land and pretend to be an elf or anything like that. I know that there are many fans of these books and movies that are like that. I can also say that they have not changed my life in any way,I just enjoy the plot and everything that it has to offer. Hybridity is evident in the Lord of the Rings. The way Tolkien was able to combine different genres into his books is awesome. I would recommend this series for anyone that has not seen them or read them.
