Estimated number of copies sold: 150 million

Tolkien, with the aid of some Nordic mythology, crafted The Lord of the Rings, one of the most published books of all time. In fact, they have inspired millions of different works within the genre. In this book, we learn about the different rings leaders from each of the different races acquire. At the same time, we find out about another ring, “one to rule them all”. The owner of this ring, Sauron, with the help of Elven-smiths, created the most powerful weapon in the land of the “Middle Earth”. But he lost the one ring.
