The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R Tolkein

Bilbo Baggins gives his nephew Frodo the ring to keep while he goes on adventures. After a few years, Gandalf the wizard shows up and sends him on a quest: to destroy the ring at the Cracks of Doom. Sam, Pippin, Merry(hobbits), Gimli(a dwarf), Aragorn(a man) and Legolas(an elf) go with him and face Riders and much more.

The first of a wonderful, long trilogy that takes several readings to understand at all. I think that the Riders are cool and awful at the same time. The movie does them perfectly, but to do them perfect they have to be really creepy. I hate the spiders.
