Greetings all! I was wondering if there is anyplace on this huge cyberspace where one can read Tolkien books online... either for free (preferably) or for a fee (that's fine too.) I mostly interesting in the LotR series (of course, :P) but other any other books would be nice too.

Major 'props' to anyone who can help me. And a hearty gracias.

I don't think there is one, and if there were, you would probably ruin your eyes from reading it on the computer. Over a thousand pages!

But thanks anyhow!

It would be nice to have Tolkien's books online... Mainly for reference. I HATE having to type stuff up every time I want to use an example from the books to back something up.

Mmmm how about all the people/organizations who try to get books accesible online...? I've heard of a lot of projects recently, but they are all quite new and are still fighting with rights and stuff..
But as Lalaithnindil says, it could be great having them for reference... not reading!

Doesn't your library have a suggestions box? Or a place you can request inter-library loans? I'd suggest going up to the reference desk and asking. :)

Nope, I asked, and they rudely refused. Our library is a joke... and not even a very funny one. I had to literally *beg* to get them to order Charles Dicken's "A Christmas Carol", and find 15 people to sign a petition to get it... urgle. This thing should not be in a public library.

*bitterness*
