John Ronald Reuel Tolkien became fluent in many languages (Greek, Latin,etc.)

In 1937, he wrote The Hobbit.(now the movies are coming out in 2012 and 2013.) The Hobbit is about a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins who lived in Hobbiton (in The Shire). Bilbo was never really up for adventure, he would much rather have his morning tea than go on one. When 13 dwarves showed up at his home as did Gandalf the wizard; thus beginning talk about an amazing journey to the Mountians. The Misty Mountains and the Lonely Mountian. The journey continues till the end of the book. He also created The Lord Of The Rings series, The Hobbitbeing a prequel. The series includes The Fellowship Of The Ring which was published in 1954 and the movie came out in 2001, and then The Two Towers which was published in 1954 and the movie came out in 2002, and then The Return Of The King which was published in 1955 and the movie came out in 2003. The journey of Bilbo Baggins continues with his favorite nephew, Frodo Baggins, who he adopts as his son. The Bagginses misfourtunes (& fourtunes) with the Ring continue from The Hobbit til The Return Of The King.

Those plus the book Silmarillion, are some of J.R.R. Tolkiens greatest accomplishments.
