Amazon’s latest book sales chart reveal<\/a> that J.R.R. Tolkien books now occupy five of the top 20 spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The charts for the week of March 27 show the three volumes of The Lord of the Rings in spots #3, #5, and #7, while sales of The Hobbit meant it slotted in at #4. The real surprise, though, is that Tolkien’s posthumously published novel The Silmarillion sold well enough to enter the charts at #12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apparently this is the first time that The Silmarillion<\/a> has reached the top strata of the Amazon sales charts. The result might indicate that Amazon Studios’ Rings of Power<\/a> series is creating a wider interest in Tolkien’s First Age myths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
