I discovered J.R.R. Tolkien and his Hobbit series in college. I read them all and enjoyed each one. This would be a wonderful addition to my library!
I would love to read this
love to win this
My son in law is a hobbit!
He reminds us of Sam, Frodo’s friend.
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!
One of my all time favorites - would love to share this with my son.
I am a hugeeeee tolkien fan and I actually dont have this book!
