The Return of the King, J. R. R. Tolkien
After a long wait, I finally read The Return of the King. Great ending (or maybe I should say "endings") to one of the greatest fantasy tales ever told. By this point, I had already seen the Rankin-Bass cartoon, heard the BBC radio series, and seen the Peter Jackson epic. I still enjoyed reading it and making my own comparisons.
I didn't realize how much of this book was made up of appendices. The climatic scene actually occurs relatively early in the book.
