In what order should you read Tolkien's books?

How I Read Tolkien's Works

In this area I'll talk about what I think is this star's best movie. I'll try to explain why I think it's their best work and why it's important to me personally.

I have Tolkien's work, as well as some other great sources about or involving Middle-earth, listed below:

The Hobbit
(1933)

Robert DeNiro's performance in this movie seems to go beyond performance: he sinks so deeply into the role of Jake LaMotta that you almost forget he's DeNiro. It's not a likable performance, and it's not an especially likable film (the fight sequences still make me wince), but it is perhaps the high point of his career.
