Oh. So I ended up reading The Hobbit.
I recently discovered that my original paperback had disappeared sometime over the past 30 years – however, my mother-in-law sent me a hardback they had lying around, and I kind of just picked it up.
It’s like stepping into a comfortable pair of slippers.
I said before that LOTR is one of those books you have to find at a certain age or time to really feel the magic of it – and that’s exactly what happened for me with The Hobbit.
Everything works for me here – the only flaw I really saw was the narrator speaking to the reader, a device I’m neither used to nor keen on.
Aside from that, it’s a cracking story full of fun and adventure.
