I actually don't like books with too obvious titels. In a good name, there is something that you don't quite understand until you've read the whole book. "The Lord of the Rings" is almost too easy for my taste! But still, you've got to love it. As Birdland pointed out, it really flows.In finnish it isn't half as beautiful : "Taru sormusten herrasta" (="The legend of the Lord of the Rings")Well, that's only our fault, for having a weird language.
