The Lord of the Rings Illustrated (Tolkien Illustrated Editions)

Oh my God, Lord of the Rings is one of my favorite books, series I'm so glad you were in it.

Oh my God, Lord of the Rings is one of my favorite books, series.

I love audiobooks. That guy... I was listening to the Lord of the Rings audiobook and he just smoothly transitions into Smeagol. It's great.

So if you've read Lord of the Rings, there's a character named Tom Bombadil.

I highly approve of this. Strom Thurman was the first idea?

When you're reading a fantasy novel like Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings or Fourth Wing, isn't it interesting that the main character has this ability to pass between worlds?

Is that a children's book? It is if you say it is.

So maybe it's a children's book? It is if you say it is. It doesn't have sex in it. So maybe it's a children's book. Yeah, I got really interested in it because of my 19th century studies.

Lord of the Rings. Is that a children's book? It is if you say it is.

the Lord of the Rings, the sequel to it.

the great villain... Sauron... in the Lord of the Rings is the kind of Satan figure that drives the plot.

Of the journeying far from home with the band of friends... there is more in the Lord of the Rings, the sequel to it.

the Lord of the Rings ... it is no longer a children's book. It's clearly not pitched as a children's book.

the Lord of the Rings turned into, it's no longer a children's book... the best part of 17 years for the Lord of the Rings to be written.

the Lord of the Rings is the great novel on the horrors of the mid20th century.

Tolkien originally began the Lord of the Rings thinking it would be one short book and it turned into three monsters.

Or the ring in The Lord of the Rings is a super weapon, isn't it? And that the prospect of using the ring hangs over the Lord of the Rings.

And then you get Lord of the Rings.

people knew that this was going to be one of the biggest films ever made because it was based on one of the biggest books ever.

And I'm like, no, it's more like, have you seen The Ring? You know, like the, you know, the bitch that comes out of the TV.

Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings.

Obviously I also watched all the Lord of the Rings in succession Spade's favorite fucking movie.

Lord of the Rings is the only thing I'm reading.

The dwarves are often heroes. They're tough. They're tough little guys and they go into the darkest recesses of the bowels of the earth to find the glittering treasure. And so it's very appropriate to notice that these dwarves are good men. In The Lord of the Rings, the dwarves are often heroes.

The Lord of the Rings and in The Hobbit.

In the story of the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings, so the Shire is full of, well, let's call them liberals.

You know, we spend most of our computational, highend computational power generating fictional worlds where we can portray meme battles... the reference I made to Harry Potter, the Lord of the Rings, and the Avengers.

Lord of the Rings.

Always call me like you've done if you have any Lord Of The Rings questions?

Pollock Baggins...Crinkle-Pus, Tinky...There are two Lord of the Rings references in these cat names.

Pollock Baggins...Based on Bilbo Baggins, the Hobbit.

You know what else is up there, lady? What? Another one you've contributed to. What? Lord of the Rings.

Yeah. People love stories about a journey. I guess they do. It's true.

Dwight tells Jim he should go to New Zealand and walk the Lord of the Rings trail.

And Dwight was like, I can go anywhere and I will. But one of the places he would like to go is New Zealand because he wants to walk the Lord of the Rings trail to Modor.

Modor is where Sauron is.

The Eye of Sauron. Is that a thing or a person?

It's like a- Why would you want to- Like an evil spirit. But it's not a person. Sam, how do I explain Eye of Sauron?

The thing it reminds me the most of is when I first got a copy of The Lord of the Rings as a child and was like this is the biggest book of all time. It's also three fucking giant books.

Melanie published an enormous memoir in 2018 and like The Lord of the Rings, it has three volumes.

Lord of the Rings.

Lord of the Rings.

Lord of the Rings.

Lord of the Rings.

Lord of the Rings.

I'm just thinking when we did the Lord of the Rings episode, you were very quick to dress up as a hobbit.

New Zealand, which is just full of Lord of the Ring stuff.

God, give me like Ents from Lord of the Rings come out, but redwoods.

And I would just sit there cross-legged and read Isaac Asimov and Lord of the Rings and all of these books because my mom was like, it's okay for you to do what you want to do, not what you should do.

Danny ... says, Lord of the Rings bro. And I'm pretty sure he means Lord of the Flies. But like, I don't want to be a bitch about it. I also have not read Lord of the Rings.

But the Lord of the Rings, a little bit kind of like The Beatles is just part of Britain. It's a huge part of Britain. We all know The Beatles. It's synonymous with music and Lord of the Rings is the same in terms of literature.

You know, most kids past the age of 9, 10 or 11 in England know the Lord of the Rings. They just do.

big news, the Lord of the Rings series for Amazon, they just announced will have female orcs. ... they are going to butcher it and they are going to wokeify it.

Frodo from Lord of the Rings is a hobbit, not a dwarf, which you incorrectly identified on yesterday's show.

One of my favorites, I really liked that scene when Frodo was fighting Voldemort in the Millennium Falcon.

I went to see the extended edition of Lord of the Rings, Return of the King yesterday in theaters. I saw The Two Towers on Saturday.

I was actually offered the part of Frodo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings, and I was like, that would mean, no, it's not funny. There has to be something you were asked to do.
