Pedantic note.
The Lord of the Rings was first published in three volumes, each volume consisting of two books :
Volume I: The Fellowship of the Ring (Books I, The Ring Sets Out, and II, The Ring Goes South,)
Volume II: The Two Towers (Books III, The Treason of Isengard, and IV, The Ring Goes East,)
Volume III: The Return of the King (Books V, The War of the Ring, and VI, The End of the Third Age, plus six appendices).
It is clearly a single work, so there can be no objection to its nomination in this thread.
