Best Answer

The Lord of the Rings is actually divided into six different books, along with a prologue and six appendices, normally published in three volumes. The book was printed this way due to the shortage of paper after World War 2. The three volumes are named: * The Fellowship of the Ring * The Two Towers * The Return of the King

The Silmarillion, perhaps? But many people find it unreadable. Also it was written first just not edited into publishable form until after JRRT's death.
