The Hobbit is Eighty!

[mweaver]

I read Lord of the Rings first, then The Hobbit, which is fairly different in style.  While I enjoyed The Hobbit from the start, I did find it mildly disappointing after LotR.  Having read both many times through the long ages, over time I came to have a better appreciation of The Hobbit in its own right.

I have been reading it on and off since this summer to my boys, 4 and 6, and they love it! Always enjoyed the story.
