Now this is an unexpected item on the list, isn’t it?
Think about it again: how could it not be included in a rainy day list, given that The Fellowship of The Ring is at least 600 pages long and spends paragraphs upon paragraphs describing the quaint simplicity of a teacup?
You’ve heard of The Lord of the Rings and you’ve watched some parts of the movies. But you never had time to pick it up and read it. Seize the opportunity of the storm and follow Frodo’s quest of self-righteousness in the eternal struggle of good vs. evil among men, dwarves, elves, wizards, and all the other creatures of Middle Earth. There’s a reason why Tolkien is hailed as a genius and one of the masters of literary style.
