... or anybody else's! Have agreed with quite a number of the dislikes mentioned. Here is my take on the subject: Enjoyed The Hobbit loathed LOTR, gave up, too derivative of the Hobbit. Enjoyed David Copperfield can't stand enything else by Dickens. Enjoyed Pride and Prejudice could not ...

... it years ago. This time around we all decided it was probably best read before age 20. I've heard similar things about The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings books -- that if you don't read them when young you may never enjoy them. I have never read them, but I would be interested in ...

... Verses is the only Salman Rushdie work I have read till date. #45 J. R. R. Tolkien is an amazing writer, read The Hobbitt and loved it. Lord Of The Rings is equally amazing though, actually, may be more so!

... my parents were generous enough (and glad I think) to forward me. I'm not sure what my first SF was, as I started with Tolkein, but Heinlein and Asimov were among the first.

... an important subtheme woven nicely into a skien of other. Meilville's Un lun dun; Pat Murphey's wonderful retelling of The Hobbit in space - There and Back again. 10-12th grader would likely enjoy Snow Crash as lot - if the parental units felt comfortable w/ bringing it into the house (M ...

>45 You have chosen the best Tolkien in The Hobbit which is full of fasinating characters. The Lord of the Rings is just more of The Hobbit but at boring length. I couldn't finish LOR, but I thought The Hobbit was brilliant.

... just so I could say I'd read one complete Ellis, but it's not on the 1001 list so it was all for naught! I'm now reading The Hobbit which is my first ever Tolkien... a bit of an embarrassment to admit as an English teacher :)

... them. I think they were appallingly boring, which is rather unacceptable for 800+ pages for each of the eight books. The Hobbit, even amidst my Tolkien adoration, is one of the books that I don't bother rereading when I'm reading the series. All of the other Tolkien fans I know adore it ...

... at good prices on eBay, I've also successfully bid on some limited editions. In this case, it was The Silmarillion, The Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings. But I've also heard other members get burned on this. Obviously, as the item gets more expensive I get more nervous and look only ...

I just don't get Tolkien. It took me 4 months to read The Hobbit and 6 months to read the first of his The Lord of the Rings trilogy. I was about 2 weeks into the second book of the trilogy when my husband took mercy on me and suggested I give it up. And why did I spend the better part of a ...

I read The Hobbit to my kids a few years ago - I found the prose awkward to read aloud but I think they enjoyed it. I hadn't read it previously since I was a teenager.

... - I thought Twilight's better half was its first, so looks like you quit at the right time! I've just started The Hobbit - my very first Tolkien, I am ashamed to say. Oh well, better late than never!

Heck,in 2500 years The Hobbit might have moved from genre to holy book with hundreds of Hobbit denominations fighting with each other both physically and theologically.

Gosh, still slower than molasses with my reading for pleasure. Did finish The Hobbit but haven't written the review yet, and still making my way through the ER book. Have a proofing project that I'll have to fit in, plus the book club books--but I'm starting to want to just pick a book to read ...

... of listening time... I do agree though, it's all about who reads them (I have very fond memories of Nicol Williams reading The Hobbit in particular - and tracked down an LP a couple of years ago). So thanks for your recommendation, shall give them a go!

... Cory Doctorow (224 pp) I tried to read Lord Foul's Bane, but couldn't get past the third chapter. I'm now re-reading The Hobbit and will follow it up with The Lord of the Rings. I'm way behind on my goal, but I'm still reading. Total pages: 5384

... parents are avid readers, and our weekly trips to the library were some of my favorite times with my family. My dad read The Hobbit to me one chapter at a time as a bedtime story, and that's the first book I remember really loving. I read constantly--with a book hidden in my lap during class, ...

I'm reading my gorgeous Persephone Books (a possibly posh publisher in London) "The Making of a Marchioness" and The Hobbit (it was raining last weekend so K and I stayed in for an LoR Marathon)

The first book I remember reading was The Hobbit when I was 6 years old. But I had a full set of Oz books at the same time and I'm sure I read them ... just not sure if before or after JRR. I also had Big Red, Black Beauty, and a ton of other books. By the time I could ride a bike I ...

I think I'll make an effort to finish the swedish edition of The hobbit, for my comparative reread. Then I think I'll pick up either Sailing from Byzantium or The search for the perfect language.

Just finished The Hobbit. Now reading the 1st book of the series Warriors Into the Wild by Evan Hunter which is a YA series my 12 yr old Granddaughter has been reading avidly. I tried to get her to read some of the Redwall series which i've read quite a few of & she asked me to read ...

... that's too detailed can be hard for me to read regardless of whether its fiction or non-fiction. I tried reading Tolkien's The Hobbit but couldn't finish it, the same for The Wolf: The ecology and Behavior of an Endangered Species. But, especially for the non-fiction, I've always figured it ...

ejj1955, Please read The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. To whoever picks for me - please pick something tagged "to read."

... Tolkien put things together in what was, at the time, a new & different way. Since the original publication of The Hobbit & Lord of the Rings many have attempted to copy him but many have also fallen short. I did not read Tolkien until i was in my 60s but had not at that time ...

... No problem, everybody has different tastes (thank goodness!!!, how vanilla the world would be otherwise). But Tolkien, The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings especially, have a very, very special place in my heart. The other books are a delight too, but those 2 (4?) are foremost.

Tolkien wrote The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The group is named after one of the pubs in the trilogy. If you haven't read them, I highly recommend 'em. They're great!

... Kenneth Grahame because it is so delightfully written and portrays both people and animals in a loving light. . . 2. The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien because it is a terrific romp through Middle Earth, and b/c I can't use up all my choices by taking the trilogy. . . 3. Good Omens by ...

IMHO there's a vast gap between Hobbit and LotR on one hand, and all the books published posthumously on the other. Namely, the narrative in the two first-named flows. The others are written in such a high-born, old-fashioned register that I have the greatest difficulty picking up the book again ...

...and as the swedish translation of The Hobbit that I own seems to be a word by word translation of the UK original (thus not managing to translate the poetry and tone of said original, as sentences etc. aren't built in the same way in swedish) I felt I had to take yet another break... so 5 ...

I just finished Well of Ascension - felt like I had to put something in between my two readings of The hobbit or it'd feel a bit repetitive. I really enjoyed reading it - now I only have to wait for the last part of the trilogy!

... children until they explained they acted it all out with Beanie Babies to make it more age-appropriate. I just stuck with The Hobbit until my kids were old enough to read TLOR on their own. It is a challenge choosing material for young high-level readers, especially if they are not also ...

#23 The Hobbit would still be under copyright. It will be subject to UK law, since it was first published here. The law here is that copyright subsists in a work of literature for 70 years after the author's death. Tolkien died in 1973, so we're exactly halfway from then until the date ...

I just finished the Hobbit for the 10th time or so, love that book ;-) And of course started The Lord of the Rings after that. I red those for the first time when I was 12 and have re-read them every 3 to 5 years. On my profile page is a list of all books I have been (re-)reading this year.

I decided today that I will do a comparative reread of the two editions of The hobbit that I own - the swedish original translation and the 1951 english edition (a 1979 reprint). Edited to correct myself - the swedish edition is the 2nd one (of 3, instead of 1st of 2, which I thought).

That's an easy one to answer. For me it was Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy. Back in the late 70s and early 80s I had always heard great reviews about the books and I finally wound up getting them at a Book Sale for 25 cents apiece. In fact I still have those books at ...
