Held annually since 2003, it is meant to encourage reading and is a great day to dust off a copy of one of J.R.R. Tolkien&#8217;s many works and dig in. (It also marks the downfall of Barad-d\u00fbr and the passing of Sauron, but that happened long before 2003.) Many schools mark the day with an in-class read, but since this year it falls on a Sunday, parents will be in charge of helping children celebrate but reading to pets, the infirm or yourself is also more than acceptable. Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join TheOneRing and the Tolkien Society, who started the event, by celebrating Tolkien Reading Day!
