Wow. You're smart and brave to read Lord of the Rings. Do you like George Orwell then? Have you read, down and out in Paris and London?
I just read the newspaper most days and i'm reading the bible.
Have you ever read any Anthony Horowitz books, the Alex Rider series?

George Orwell tried to expose the poverty of both the cities by actually experiencing the life of a tramp in London and a life of hardship in Paris. Then he wrote about his experiences and the extraordinary characters he met.
Yeah, they're like an action version of Harry Potter. He turned his first book "stormbreaker" into a film that you might have heard, it was quite rubbish though.

This would be a good book against our enemies:

I recommend you read "The Garden of Emuna" - You can get it in Hebrew, English, Russian, and a few other languages. (its from Israel).
You can buy it here

or search (in English) The Garden of Emuna - (in Hebrew) B'Gan Ha'Emuna

I read Lord of the Rings when I was 10, it took me three weeks.
Recreation wise the most recent book I read was Confessor by Terry Goodkind, last book in his Sword of Truth Series, it was rather disappointing, the series began as an awesome fantasy epic, but since book 7, Terry's been more interested in setting up scenes in which he can have his main character give huge sermons than in writing a good story, it's still good in places, but all the good bits in this final bit seemed to be repeats of things he'd done in previous books, and then the sermon at the end was the longest yet, it was basically about 20 pages of Terry trying to convince the reader that God doesn't exist, which is just not a good way to finish a fantasy book.
Aside from fantasy I've also been reading mathematics books recently.
