I've been wanting to post in here, but haven't really had the time.

But I know what you mean Lizra, I remember how much smaller my city used to be and my quiet, peaceful neighborhood. Now as I look around and see cars and constuction everywhere, I think to myself. "When exactly did this happen?' It is kind of sad. But it's nice to drive out of the city and see the geen countrysides and froested ares. As I was reading over the first chapter I found it amusing to see Bilbo's character and imagine him running around puffing heavily and his distaught face as one of his biggest worries is having enough seed cakes. Then I thought about how much his character changes by the end of the book, how much he transforms, by going out into the world and having these adventures. A being can grow so much by experiencing life and the different challenges it presents.
