Today’s feature should certainly interest some of my readers. On this date in 1955, J.R.R. Tolkien published the final book of the Lord of the Rings trilogy–Return of the King. I will be honest. This is the book I never finished. I read the first two books in the series, and I even read The Hobbit. I began reading this one, and I almost finished it. But for whatever reason, I lost interest. I always intended to go back and reread it, but I watched the movie instead. Pretty pathetic, isn’t it?
