31 Lord of the Rings Memes to Celebrate Tolkien’s 133rd Birthday (If He’d Kept the One Ring)

This week we celebrated J.R.R. Tolkien's birthday—January 3rd—and if he'd kept the One Ring, he'd be a spry 133 years old. I'll admit, when I was younger, I didn't fully appreciate Tolkien's brilliance. For some reason, I had it in my head that he was a "bad writer with great ideas" (kind of like George Lucas). But to be fair, I tried reading The Lord of the Rings way too young, and all those overly detailed descriptions of food and scenery were a bit much for my kid brain.

It wasn't until later, when I gave his work another shot, that I realized just how genius Tolkien truly was. His world-building, characters, and yes, even the food descriptions, are nothing short of legendary. These 31 Lord of the Rings memes are the perfect way to celebrate his legacy—with a little humor, a lot of nostalgia, and a whole lot of second breakfast.
