If you're not familiar with Tolkien's famous trilogy, you have literally been living under a rock. If you are only familiar with the trilogy as depicted in Peter Jackson's films, you should pick up the books and expand your understanding of the series. As with all films that are based on books, the LOTR films had to cut quite a bit of the book out in order to keep each film under thirty-six hours. And if you've never met old Tom Bombadil, then you don't know the whole tale of the ring! Happy reading!

Reading Update
(9) The Hobbit - J.R.R Tolkien
Oh Bilbo Baggins! What is not to like about this tale of an peculiarly adventurous Hobbit's trip into peril, riches, and friendship? I hadn't been through this book since my dad read it to my brother and me when we were just wee little lads and I'm quite glad that I decided to revisit it. If you haven't had the pleasure of reading this one, grab it and dive into the world of Middle Earth with our hero Bilbo and his dwarf companions as they embark on one fantastic adventure!
