Well, standard question  But which have you read? Myself, I've read the Hobbit, LotR (complete with appendixes and all),Silmarillion, books 1-6 from the History of Middle- earth, Roverandom (not LotR), Leaf by Niggle (non- LotR), Farmer Giles of Ham (non- LotR), The Adventures of Tom Bombadil (non- LotR, sort of), Smith of Wooton Major (non- LotR), The Road Goes Ever On: A Song Cycle, and Roverandom. BTW, the last one mentioned is the most adorable book I've ever laid my hands on ;D |

Are you still working on the Hobbit or did you give up? I gave up on it once... I find it alot harder to read than LOTR...

The Hobbit - hard to read?  That book's one of the most amusing JRRT wrote... And umm... yeah, well, I read LotR first time when I was twelve or so  So I've had about six years or a little more to get through them *has read LotR about 50 times* |

I found the Hobbit very difficult to get through. I did finish it sometime last year. I dunno. It was just alot more boring than LOTR to me. There wasn't as much suspense, I suppose. But that's because the Hobbit was supposed to be a children's novel, I think.

I have The Hobbit, but you know what? The guy that shipped it to us sent the kid version of it, so everything is completely different than the original.  |

No fair ...I thought they were alike, all (well, except the first) of the various editions out there? |

Apparently they made a kid version, where they did a find/replace, changed the names of the creatures, and took out certain parts, or made them 'kid appropriate'.  |

Exactly. Apparantly Tolkien's son authorized it... In order to stay on topic, I've read LOTR books 1-6, The Hobbit, and started on the Silmarillion, but gave up on it because of time constraints. |
