The Fellowship of the Ring

The Lord of the Rings is an absolute classic - and for very good reason. Enjoyable from a first readthrough for its amazing worldbuilding, story and characters, further engagement with the series really makes you appreciate it on a whole other level. I usually don't do rereads, but I have done multiple for LotR over the years and regained my appreciation of the series each time.

The Fellowship in particular has some of the best parts of the series, although there are also some weaker sections. Whilst the opening is slow and in parts meandering, the story really starts picking up pace in Bree, and the journey through Moria is clearly a peak of the series.
