Welcome to It’s Monday! What Are You Reading! This is a great way to plan out your reading week and see what others are currently reading as well… you never know where that next “must read” book will come from! Hosted by Book Journey.
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
Originally published in 1937
In the hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet dry, bare sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and than means comfort.
Written for J.R.R. Tolkien's own children, The Hobbit met with instant critical accalim when it was first published in 1937. Now recognized as a timeless classic, this introduction to the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, the wizard Gandalf, Gollum and the spectacular world of Middle-earth recounts of the adventures of a reluctant here, a powerful and dangerous ring, and the cruel dragon Smaug the Magnificent. Unforgettable!
Unforgettable indeed! I love this book with all my heart :)
