Hi
Just wondering if this is a group read open to anybody?? I actually really want to reread this book – basically before the film is released so this seems like a good opp but wasn’t sure if you mind anyone joining in.
If you’d sooner not then no worries – I’ll follow the comments anyway.
Lynn
Yes! Jump right in!
You have a copy of the book already, don’t you?
You can also take over the discussion for a week, if you’d like. Let me know.
I have the book, and (because I’m all geeky like that) I have the illustrated book! (I even have a fold up map – but don’t tell anybody that I just admitted to that!),
Happy to help with the discussion as best you think fit. – Not the first week though!! Need to walk before I run, blah blah blah….
Lynn
Oh my god. Take a picture! Show me, show me!
Thanks, Lynn.
I’ll probably take over week one. So that means I’ll either toss week three at you, or you can work with Matt on week two. I’ll keep you posted, alright?
Oh, gosh. I’m glad I saw this post on my WP Reader! I first picked The Hobbit when I was twelve and couldn’t get into it. My tastes have grown and changed quite a bit since then, and a movie will be coming out… I am tempted to read it now. 100 pages a week sounds manageable!
I know what you mean. I first tried it around that age as well, and I HATED it. I tried again a year ago, and, well, it’s one of those books every fantasy-addict should pick up at least once.
We’re hosting discussions on the Writers’ Bloc blog, so just leave us a link to your blog there, okay? Glad to have you join in!
It’s been roughly 30 years since I read The Hobbit. Hope your group likes it as much as I do!
I do, too. Quite a few of them haven’t read it before. I just hope they like it.
