Visiting an Old Friend
Some weeks ago - I picked up The Hobbit and started to read it again. It's been years. I'm taking my time. And enjoying it. I went a few weeks without reading it - then picked it back up. Most of my reading is over my lunch - just a half-hour, which I usually eat at my desk (frozen dinners - *sigh* - at least I warm them up first).
After today's reading I have about two pages left in Chapter 8 - "Flies and Spiders". It's fun to me how we're introduced to just one new character or type of people in each chapter - for most of the early chapters. Something like: 1. Bilbo (Hobbits) / Gandalf (Wizards) / Dwarves (well - you can't do only one of those and have a chapter) 2. Trolls 3. Elves and Elrond 4. Goblins 5. Gollum 6. Wargs / Great Eagles 7. Beorn 8. Spiders of Mirkwood Anyway - as I've said, I'm having fun. I'm sure that almost all of us BEGAN our Tolkien adventures with The Hobbit. Well, for those of us who read the books first.
