It's been forever since I read Lord of the Rings back in high school, so I'm rereading it and I just finished Fellowship. It's even better than I remember. The Shire, Rivendell, Moria, and best of all, Lothlorien. So much magic (you know, metaphorical magic) in those books. When the world is ruled by chaotic, cynical nihilism, LOTR makes sense.
