    My mother first read the Hobbit to me somewhere around 1952. I first read LOTR in 1967. Now I have to read them as ebooks to get the font big enough.

    I think we find out what pipeweed is really made of, when we see one character’s reaction.

    Tolkien is the greatest writer of the 20th century, and he wrote the best English of the 20th century.

    Yeah, but don’t you think Ruben is just being greedy by stretching it over three weeks when he could have done it in one?

    I read The Hobbit at age thirty-nine, then read it again last year when I was seventy-six. The second time I kept thinking, “Is this thing ever going to END?” Guess I’m suffereng from AAADD (Age-Activated Attention Deficit Disorder).
