hobbits

I thought I might go find my copy of the Hobbit, since Mark is doing it over at Mark Reads, I haven't read it since 7th grade a zillion years ago, and a good book might help me get rid of this depressed, lonely feeling I've had for a few weeks. I want to go outside and read it in the sun while we still have warm sun. After searching around to see where my parents had moved it I finally found it.

Inside the cover (it was a used book) is a dedication to someone named Bert for Christmas 1975.

On the next page I wrote my own name... and the url to my livejournal. This was back when urls to non-paid LJs went like this: http://www.livejournal.com/~ivybgreenflower

oh, 14-year-old Ivy. You were a loon.

Ooooooh! I've wanted to give this book a re-read for quite a while now. I recall liking it, but I couldn't tell you why I liked it. I also wanted to give LOTR a re-read. I never finished the third book. I think I'd be able to appreciate those books better now. I have a little more patience now to read 30 pages on how the light from the sun caught the leaf in a certain way.

The Hobbit is SO CUTE. Like, I don't remember giggling at it as much as I did when I first read it. I'm sure the later chapters get less cute but so far it's a quicker read than I was expecting.

And I hope I can get through LOTR this time too lol I stopped halfway through TTT and just read little bits of ROTK.

AHHH I love Mark Reads. I was kind of down because he was reading American Gods, which is a book I didn't like, but I'm excited for The Hobbit.

I'm sad he's doing the George RR Martin books as one-offs but his predictions fill me with dread and glee
