I never read "The Hobbit" or the "Lord Of The Rings" so I was just curious about this. Are there more rings?

Hey, you guys are awesome! I'm beginning to get the big picture.
But I should be mad at you too. You're gonna cost me some money. I am seriously thinking of going to Amazon to order some books!
Oh well. Reading is a great way to pass cold winter nights!
Thanks guys!

"It began with the forging of the great rings. Three were given to the Elves, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Seven to the Dwarf lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. And nine, nine rings were gifted to the race of Men, who above all else, desire power. For within these rings was bound the strength and will to govern each race. But they were all of them deceived, for another ring was made.
In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret a master ring, to control all others. And into this Ring, he poured his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life.
"One Ring to rule them all."
One by one, the free lands in Middle-Earth fell to the power of the Ring. But there were some who resisted. A last alliance of Men and Elves marched against the armies of Mordor and on the slopes of Mount Doom they fought for the freedom of Middle-Earth."
also the ring says on it
"one ring to rule them all,
one ring to find them,
one ring to bring them all,
and into darkness, bind them."

In both the book and the movie there are 13 rings (i can't remember the exact amount I've only seen it once and haven't read it for ages). Watch the beginning of the fellowship and it says where the rings went. The other rings don't play a huge part because they are not as powerful.

As the other posters have said, at the beginning of the first film, it's revealed that rings were given to each race (three for the elves, a certain number for dwarfs, and nine for men). And the ring Sauron made for himself is the ring that rules each of those rings.

"Three rings for the elven kings under the sky;
Seven for the dwarf lords in their halls of stone;
Nine for mortal men doomed to die;
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie;
One Ring to rule them all,One Ring to find them;
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them;
In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie."
This is the spell Sauron used to make the One Ring. In all of the rings was the power to rule their own kingdoms and one ring to each ruler of each kingdom; three Elven, seven Dwarven, and Nine Human kingdoms. The One Ring's power was to control all of the rings held by the other races so that Sauron could be the surpreme ruler of Middle-Earth and dominate all life.

In the very beginning of the first movie, this is explained:
Three rings for elven kings under the sky
Seven for the dwarf lords in their halls of stone
Nine for mortal men doomed to die
One for the dark lord on his dark throne
One ring to rule them all
One ring to find them
One ring to bring them all
And in the darkness bind them.

The one ring allows the wearer to control the other rings of the high lords, making the wearer "the lord of the rings"
It was a trick Lord Sauron used to control the other lords.
"one ring to rule them all,
one ring to find them,
one ring to bring them all,
and into darkness, bind them."
