	::I'm specifically choosing this method because it expands what you already gleaned in earlier writing.

Hi everyone,

I'm really interested in reading Tolkien's books from the begging to the end, but after doing a little research there seems to be a decent amount of books to read and was wondering what specific order to read them in?

Thanks
