HTRLLAP: How to Read for "QUESTS"

"In a hole in the ground, there lived a hobbit."
-J.R.R. Tolkien

These first words, of Tolkien's first book in his Epic Lord of the Rings world of Middle Earth, started the story that would capture the hearts and minds of people a world over for decades.

The eternal battle between good and evil rages on in a world beyond our comprehension in a time long ago. The battle has been quiet for generations, until a hobbit named Bilbo finds a ring, goes on an assortment of journeys, comes back home, and passes the ring on to his young relative, Frodo Baggins, and with that, a journey began that won't soon be forgotten by anyone for years to come.
