  116. My son in law is a hobbit!

  117. He reminds us of Sam, Frodo’s friend.

  118. I was thrilled to learn that Jackson will be making the movie. I’ve loved all things hobbit since I heard the song “The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins” when I was in junior high. (A Leonard Nimoy album. don’t ask.) At that time, there were no bookstores in my hometown, and a small library that did not stock Tolkien. A friend found “The Two Towers” while on vacation. So my first experince of the series was the 2nd part of the trilogy! I highly recommend reading them in the proper order, starting, of course, with The Hobbit!

  119. One of my all time favorites - would love to share this with my son.

  120. I am a hugeeeee tolkien fan and I actually dont have this book!
