Ok /lit/, I admit it: I never read the Lord of the Rings.
If I had to pick an edition to read, which one would you suggest? I heard the one made by Harpercollins some years ago were pretty good but new copies are made in china and that's a no by me

Also, what would be the ideal order to read Tolkien works? Is there a chart about it?

Why? Are you one of those "muh buy American hire American" faggots? Trump has his shit made in China and Mexico, just so you know.

characters so big people at the other end of the bus can read them

If you read Lord of the Rings instead of Gormenghast, Harold Bloom gets sad. You don't want that, do you?
