The Hobbit On My Bookshelf

When my parents returned from England They brought me a leather bound copy of the Hobbit Now it sits proudly on my bookshelf What a fantastic story! Full of hobbits, dwarves, goblins wizards, orcs . giant spiders, elves and Beornings Imagination is ones' key to a joyous life The book has inspired a multitude of poets, writers, and yes - dreamers As for myself I feel it is an example of wonder which is something we are all in need of in these dark and troubled times So, friends - re - read the Hobbit rejoin Bilbo and company and take joy from the existence of Middle Earth

Yes, I like Bard a lot, too. His black arrow went to the heart of the matter!

I never did read that one, but I read the entire trilogy of Lord of the Rings. I think I just don't want to do a prequel when I already know how the whole story will end up. haha. I saw the first Hobbit movie but not the other two. Did you see them? I enjoyed all the Lord of the Ring movies. When I read it in high school, I said to myself. THAT should be a movie, and lo and behold it DID!! Yes, I love fiction and fantasy and can't understand those who only enjoy nonfiction. UGggg

I have seen all of the Hobbit movies. I like the Lord of the Rings movies more. I don't understand people who just enjoy nonfiction either but I also don't understand people who only enjoy fiction, Matthew
