I was able to enjoy them both that way and I get so much more out of LOTR as an adult. I'm with you, however, as regards The Hobbit. I too wish I had read it as a child. I would have fallen deeply in love with it, I am sure. As it is, I read The Hobbit before the film version of Fellowship of the Ring came out so that I would have that background info. And I enjoyed it very, very much. But it isn't as cherished a work for me as is LOTR and The Simarillion. Still, it is an awfully good book. I'm glad you enjoyed it.Carl V.

Sorry your comment got eaten though--that is so damn frustrating, isn't it?<br />I'm thinking about reading The Hobbit aloud to Max--maybe during next year's OUaT. I think he'd love it, but reluctant reader that he is, I doubt he'd ever read it on his own. <br /><br />Nancy,<br />LOL--yes, as a matter a fact it does! :D<br /><br />Susan,<br />Annie read the Silmarillion a few years back and loved it. But for some reason I just doubt that I'll ever try to tackle that one. Ummm, and Susan, you definitely are *not* a freak, my dear! :)<br /><br />Kelly,<br />Yep, I say that about sums up my feelings too. :)Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13999759633682551104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5406276551816593241.post-66263997542899197262012-05-03T23:52:48.328-04:002012-05-03T23:52:48.328-04:00I have to admit I liked the trilogy more than this...I have to admit I liked the trilogy more than this book, but it was still worth the read.Kailanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136262232046813471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5406276551816593241.post-84569636572736098382012-05-03T23:35:15.116-04:002012-05-03T23:35:15.116-04:00Woohoo!

Sometimes I feel like a freak because I've read them so often - and the Silmarillion, and even a few of others. Now you can get all excited for The Hobbit coming out in December! lol<br /><br />Really though, I am thrilled you did enjoy it. It was written for children, whereas LotR is more for adults, you are right. It's all about The Ring, isnt' it??Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5406276551816593241.post-9358808298235763752012-05-03T19:33:07.041-04:002012-05-03T19:33:07.041-04:00I haven't read anything at all by Tolkien for ...I haven't read anything at all by Tolkien for much the same reasons you avoided this one.
