The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien
Established in 2003 by the Tolkien Society, March 25 is Tolkien Reading Day, when fans of all ages come together at schools and libraries to read, discuss, and celebrate the author’s best-loved books. This year’s theme is “Tolkien’s Seafarers.” The Tolkien Society is an educational charity based in Great Britain which promotes the life and works of the late J.R.R. Tolkien.

I did not know this! I absolutely love Tolkien’s work. And now I have an excuse once a year to bug absolutely everyone about it! I will be reading his biography shortly, the man just has a great style of writing. It’s like the classic grandfather reading you an epic bedtime story that comes to life. Fantastic news.
