The Lord of the Rings Trilogy is the beginning of all reading for anyone who likes sci-fi and fantasy books. All current fantasy books are based on Tolkien's books, I dont care what anyone says to the contrary. He did it first, and better than most have done since then, and is the Benchmark for the genre. I liked his 'prequel' to LOTR, 'The Hobbit', but it never had the complexity or depth that the Trilogy had. To understand some of the motivations behind 'the Ring', you should read the Hobbit. If you turn into a die-hard Tolkien fan, try the Silmarilion also, but it's not something that casual readers would be into.
