The Fellowship of the Ring

by J.R.R. Tolkien

Amazing to see how an innocent, pure‑hearted Hobbit—seemingly of no importance to anyone—steps up to carry an impossible burden, and in doing so becomes the key to the greatest challenge in Middle‑earth.

The Two Towers

by J.R.R. Tolkien

Painful to watch Saruman—the White Wizard, once defined by knowledge, power, and wisdom—give in to darkness, starting with “noble” intentions and ending in catastrophic destruction. I also loved Boromir’s arc: tempted by the Ring, yet ultimately choosing courage and redemption.

The Return of the King

by J.R.R. Tolkien

A seemingly impossible mission—destroy the One Ring—means walking straight into the heart of Mordor, where Sauron and his armies rule, with the fate of Middle‑earth hanging on it. What stayed with me most was the friendship between Frodo and Sam, and Frodo’s compassion toward Sméagol/Gollum despite everything—knowing all along this was a one‑way journey. And of course: good over evil, not giving up, and the sacrifices of so many—Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Boromir, Théoden, Éowyn, Galadriel, Elrond, and the Hobbits—each seemingly “small” on their own, but together making all the difference.

Oru manitann, oru veedu, oru ulagam (ஒரு மனிதன் ஒரு வீடு ஒரு உலகம்)

by Jayakanthan

I’ve rarely read a book this wholesome and soulful. The father and son—and their perspectives on life, people, hate, anger, love, compassion, sacrifice, money, and judgment—left me speechless. I also loved how the other characters, some of whom seem flawed at first, gradually reveal something more genuine and humane—still imperfect, but real. It had a profound impact on how I think, and how I see (and judge) people.
