Wow they selling it for $70 but the works does look alright, lots of scene. Thanks for the link Chris! 
$70! bloody hell I didn't see that part mate. I just meant to check out is art style. If you want to buy it I think I saw used editions of Amazon for a few dollars. I never buy new books I hit up the second hand shops.
I tried reading the Similrillan but to be honest I couldn't follow it.

Haha no worries mate, I'm just surprised as well cos looking at the art I thought it couldn't be $70. I didn't know the prints can be made for resale though. ^^ There isn't much 2nd hand bookstore anymore in my country. Even big bookstore closed down. Most people just get their books and anything else online. Furthermore, I'm trying to not add more stuff into my room 
Guess now I'm curious to know about it but from what I heard its universe is more vast than lot, making lotr just like the tip of an iceberg. How the heck did Tolkien wrote up such a vast universe? XD

I like them non the less. I also know about adding clutter to
your room.
I think the Hobbit novel will make a very nice
introduction to the world of Tolkien. How he came up with such
a place I'm not sure but I do have my own ideas. He was a professor
of language and literature so maybe the writing came natural to him.
Plus he lived in England where its bloody cold half of the year and
unfit to be outside so I imagine he spent many a day sitting by the
fire smoking his pipe and letting his imagination wander.

Juat got the hobbit from the library but could not find the silmarillion in the 3 libraries that I went to. I probably miss tit or it on the wrong shelf. I supposed he must have been to some interesting places as well to described all those scenery in his works. Thanks again Chris
I think you'll be happy with the Hobbit. I think he was born in South Africa but grew up in England. I think most of the scenery of the Shire is based on his early life in rural England. I know he was also in World War 1 and the trench warfare in France. Had to be bloody awful. Sure it was an influence too.
I've started reading on it now, but only on the first few pages so far, and it really turns out to be a delightful read. I also went off and bought for myself The Silmarillion, but guess I'm gonna finished The Hobbit first. Not sure which one I should really be reading first like; is there a particular order to read the series.
That was quite the life he had, I'm sure all his life experience were added into his story as well.
