LotR unexpectedly started my love of reading but others have been welcome surprises as well. The Foundation series...War and Peace...Animal Farm...Siddhartha...The Culture series...The Body...The Call of Cthulhu...To Kill a Mockingbird...The Dresden Files...Lord Foul's Bane...A Separate Peace...The Education of Little Tree...Ender's Game...
So many more.
How about you?
