a lot of people in this thread are saying "tolkien" when what they really seem to mean is "the lord of the rings" only
the lord of the rings is only a tiny fraction of what he wrote and it's disingenuous to pretend otherwise
is the silmarillion (the single book titled that) not worthy of consideration just because the lord of the rings is more famous?
what about the silmarillion (the sum of the material tolkien considered for inclusion)?
what about the book of lost tales?
what about the lost road?
what about the notion club papers?
what about leaf by niggle?
what about smith of wootton major?
