How did any of you read this book?
Last year I made an effort to read this book, but it was so boring. I could only get up to page 17, and boredom stop me. Nothing interesting happened. It was just about an idiot adventerous wierdo who brings migits to a little short fat man's house. It goes on and on about how the fat migit hated adventure. I couldn't take it anymore, and I stopped. How did you people read it and actually enjoy it?

greg, or jae, or larry, or whoever you are...you've got to look more into the book...wait a while, fun stuff happens! And just wait untill you get to TLOTR...they are longer! And the uneventfulness lasts longer! But really, if you read the whole book you'll discover its really great...well, that is, if you even know *how* to read *evillaugh*

Re: He has one more chance
I loved the wizard of Oz, both the movie and the books, there was much more than the no place like home junk, eventually Dorothy moves to Oz! The Hobbit is a great book! I read it when I was 11 or something, and again now (I'm 13)

The 60's
I read The Hobbit and LOTR in the 60's when I was a teenager and it seemed that everyone was.

Re: The 60's
Reading with an open mind and being in a state expecting to be entertained helps. Actually I found it most engrossing from the first page. Possibilities abound!

If anyone wants to get deeper into symbolisms there's a Hobbit analysis going on over in the stuffy old Oxford of Grey Havens/BasherBoard.
The Hobbit shares some evident things in common with Star Wars:A New Hope, and with Joseph Campbell's 'Hero's Journey' in general. |
