As a child, I remember The Hobbit was one of the first “thick novels” I tackeled. I got almost nothing out of the story but revelled in the beautiful feel of the language. Then I read it again, and fell in love with Bilbo. Then I read it again and finally was able to form a mental image for the rich description, and again, and again…well you know, I just fell into the story over time.
Welcome to the journey, Sandra!

My Mom purchased The Hobbit for me when I was 7. At 8, I recieved the complete Lord of the Rings trilogy for Christmas. I have read all four books every year since – and I turn 42 this year. They are the same copies I recieved as a child, tattered, covers missing but so well loved. My own son is not a big reader but I am hoping that my reading The Hobbit to him this year will change that and spark something inside him that will make him long to read more.
A mom can always hope…

I know a little boy who has struggled with reading who decided on his own to tackle the Fellowship of the Ring. It thrilled his parents.
I am re-reading the Hobbit now and am delighting again in the story like I did when Mrs. Hudson gave it to me in 5th grade because I had read everything in class already.
