I recently had the honor of introducing
The Hobbit to a new reader. *happy sigh*
Halfway through The Unexpected Party, he turned to me and said, "This is FUNNY." ![]() |

I still haven't gotten any of my kids to read 'em all the way through yet.

My sister of 8 years old began to read it after seeing the animated movie. She's halfway through now and she told me; When I finish it, can I start reading LOTR?" hehe^^

I got my nephew to start reading it, but he has yet to finish it.
I did get a coworker to read it. She loved it and asked to borrow LotR

My son read it for his freshman English class; he said that he liked it. Maybe we will watch the animated movie soon. Peace and goodwill.

![]() The Hobbit does tend to be a whole lot more readable than LotR - a little less complex and epic.
![]() I've been reading The Hobbit to my six year old brother - he seems to be enjoying it, although the plot is confusing him slightly. He wants to learn to read by himself so he can get through it quicker. He's also asking a lot of questions about LotR. So nice to know that we're bringing him up right. ![]() ![]()
