The Hobbit discussion

Talk About The Book Here

It was AMAZING!

'Nuff said.

The hole in the ground!

Lol. "In a hole in the ground, there lived a Hobbit"

So true!

^^ I WANT a hobbit-hole DX

Would you guys vote for reading the Lord of the Rings books before the Hobbit, or reading the Hobbit first?

Depends how old you are? I read The Hobbit first ... haven't actually read the LotR as yet (waiting for them to get here) ... if you're a kid, probably The Hobbit, since The Hobbit was written as a childrens' book, so it would get you used to J.R.R Tolkien's writing before moving onto the LotR? Not sure ... since I haven't read the LotR I can't really vote xD

I have no idea....they are all so good!

Haha, I really have to read those soon!!!

I am right now!

I was read 'the hobbit' as a bedtime story when i was a child, and so it has been a much loved tale throughout my life. I was SO pleased when they announced that Peter Jackson was making it into a film (or should i say films), like 'The lord of the rings' films, as it is just spectacular and made for the big screen. The clever combination between humour and wit amidst death defying battles is extrordinary, and i am not sure that any author of today would have had the courage nor the skill to pull-off what Tolkien did.
I have studdied and read JRR Tolkien's books for years, and if i had to choose one to read at bedtime then it would be this one!

Enjoy :)

Thank you, I will!

Just re-read it! It's brilliant. One of my all-time favourites. Sorry ... I can't express how awesome it is xD. After finishing it I craved more Tolkien ... so I started LotR :P

I will reread it thanks!

Haha. Have you got it from the library yet?

NO! Well I did but the person hasn't turned it in so he/she is getting fined until they bring it in!

Aww lol.

IKR? I am very mad!

Got it yet? :)

Nope! Apparently when they called me they said that the person lost it(I think stole would be the correct word) and that they would have to order a new one for me! But, hey, at least I get a brand new one and not one that has been touched by 30 million other people!

Lol that's true ^_^. You should just buy it :P. It would probably get there quicker. And then you could have your own one lol.

I was so desperate a few months ago to replace my ancient copy of The Hobbit, that i finally decided to go to WHSmith bookshop and buy a brand new copy.
This was typical...a few weeks later i found the exsact same paperback copy of The Hobbit in a secondhand shop, at a quarter of the price!!

haha nice

Lol :) That happens ... :)

lol I shouldnt really be in this group. cause I havent really read the book. lol.

I believe this group is for Hobbit fans in general, Max ... movie fans and book ones P:

But you MUST read the book :D It's so. awesomely. brilliant :)))))

Oh, cool!

I own a harback with illustrations by Allan Lee and also the traditional paperback .

I would love a film tie-in paperback...perhaps added to my B'Day list?!

I have the film tie-in paperback ... in a box set with LOTR. Good enough to read, but not the nicest copy, since it's paperback and won't last too long.
And I'm getting it in Latin for my birthday xD

Whoa, you can read in Latin? That's cool

That's the trouble with paperbacks. No matter how careful you are, they do tend to wear out eventually & a lot quicker.
