| The Lord of the Rings | The Lord of the Rings | J.R.R. Tolkien | English | 4.50 | 581951 | 11835 | One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind themIn ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, the Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth, it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell by chance into the hands of the hobbit Bilbo Baggins.From Sauron's fastness in the Dark Tower of Mordor, his power spread far and wide. Sauron gathered all the Great Rings to him, but always he searched for the One Ring that would complete his dominion.When Bilbo reached his eleventy-first birthday he disappeared, bequeathing to his young cousin Frodo the Ruling Ring and a perilous quest: to journey across Middle-earth, deep into the shadow of the Dark Lord, and destroy the Ring by casting it into the Cracks of Doom.The Lord of the Rings tells of the great quest undertaken by Frodo and the Fellowship of the Ring: Gandalf the Wizard; the hobbits Merry, Pippin, and Sam; Gimli the Dwarf; Legolas the Elf; Boromir of Gondor; and a tall, mysterious stranger called Strider. | 1955 | {'Fantasy': 17052, 'Classics': 5090, 'Fiction': 5074, 'Adventure': 737, 'Science Fiction Fantasy': 646, 'Fantasy (Epic Fantasy) ': 456, 'Literature': 419, 'Fantasy (High Fantasy) ': 419, 'Novels': 404, 'Young Adult': 380} | https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33.The_Lord_of_the_Rings |

| The City & the City | The City & The City | China Miéville | English | 3.91 | 57342 | 5906 | When a murdered woman is found in the city of Beszel, somewhere at the edge of Europe, it looks to be a routine case for Inspector Tyador Borlú of the Extreme Crime Squad. But as he investigates, the evidence points to conspiracies far stranger and more deadly than anything he could have imagined.Borlú must travel from the decaying Beszel to the only metropolis on Earth as strange as his own. This is a border crossing like no other, a journey as psychic as it is physical, a shift in perception, a seeing of the unseen. His destination is Beszel’s equal, rival, and intimate neighbor, the rich and vibrant city of Ul Qoma. With Ul Qoman detective Qussim Dhatt, and struggling with his own transition, Borlú is enmeshed in a sordid underworld of rabid nationalists intent on destroying their neighboring city, and unificationists who dream of dissolving the two into one. As the detectives uncover the dead woman’s secrets, they begin to suspect a truth that could cost them and those they care about more than their lives. What stands against them are murderous powers in Beszel and in Ul Qoma: and, most terrifying of all, that which lies between these two cities.Casting shades of Kafka and Philip K. Dick, Raymond Chandler and 1984, The City & the City is a murder mystery taken to dazzling metaphysical and artistic heights. | 2009 | {'Fantasy': 1834, 'Fiction': 1409, 'Science Fiction': 1081, 'Mystery': 950, 'Mystery (Crime) ': 404, 'Fantasy (Urban Fantasy) ': 262, 'Speculative Fiction': 204, 'Science Fiction Fantasy': 179, 'Weird Fiction (New Weird) ': 114, 'Fantasy (Weird Fiction) ': 111} | https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4703581-the-city-the-city |
