Probably The Lord of the Rings. I read the entire thing almost ten years ago, and only remember bits and pieces. It's so long that I could definitely read it multiple times and still learn new information every time I read it.

Agreed, but that is three books. If one book was a strict requirement, I would go for silmarillion.

Nonsense, LOTR has been sold as a single volume for a long time now. I have the 50th anniversary edition, which is a single physical book.

1) Be nice and; have fun

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
