High fantasy

I've never really spend time with The Lord of the Rings or the stories involved. My dad watched the movies all the time when I was growing up so I have like a basic knowledge about it's world.  But I never really bonded with it.  It almost seen like too much for me.   Reading The Hobbit was a nicer experience then I thought it would be.  It was fun and charming as well easy to read and understand.  I had a good time reading it and it was a relaxing read.
