>In a letter written by Tolkien, he stated that Eru again intervened, this time in the Third Age, causing Gollum to trip and fall into the fires of Mount Doom while still holding the One Ring, thus destroying it.

Why didn't this fucker just throw the Ring into Mount Doom himself?

it's funny making someone trip. Eru is a god, he's got not moral compass.

Recommend me one book, only one. I'm familiar with him because I've read many biographies on Tolkien and Lewis and his name always comes up, but I've never read his books.

For the same reason God doesn't rapture up everyone right this instant and spent the rest of eternity with his chosen (that is, the people who of their own free will chose Him). Because free will exists and life requires effort. If you should happen to get to the end of your road, and you have done your best for the good and proven a faithful servant, perhaps then God will be merciful to you and all the world as well.
