sobriety is boring as shit but also very good and reading rocks

do you guys wanna do a read through of the hobbit i know that it is simple and plotting a month for it is dumb but we could split it into fourths and do one bit a week and it would be a cool distraction for me

I've never read the hobbit but I'm really into fantasy these days, so I'd be down

great way to get psyched for Fox Searchlight's TOLKIEN starring Nicholas Hoult (2019)!

I have an old copy I think and I've never read it. I'd be down

by **inmate** » Sat Jan 12, 2019 3:33 pm

maybe

by **woozy ducks** » Sat Jan 12, 2019 8:06 pm

yes (i'd rather read the 3 LOTR cause the hobbit is the only tolkien i've already read)

by **big zorb** » Sat Jan 12, 2019 10:36 pm

we can do lotr if people would rather!

by **alaska** » Sat Jan 12, 2019 10:54 pm

honestly i would vote for lotr

i read a bunch of it really young but like. too young to actually understand it

by **big zorb** » Sat Jan 12, 2019 11:21 pm

happy to do lotr! i love it. folks, tell us your preferences and we'll get things ironed out

thanks 4 reading with me <3

i just read this to my kid a few months ago so i'll stick in the thread.

i'm down for lotr

in celebration of that, a picture of my brothers and I in 2002 as frodo, legolas, and a ringwraith. my mom made all the costumes.

i was the ringwraith, i dunno why though, so stupid, most people just thought i was a demon or something

my brother roger's legolas was the best lol. he's still sorta embarrassed by these pictures

might be down

I actually think the hobbit is a lot better written than lotr

by **sobieski** » Sat Jan 12, 2019 11:40 pm

the philological background is really interesting too, like all these revived bits of anglo-saxon literature

by **sobieski** » Sat Jan 12, 2019 11:41 pm

also that frodo is cracking me up

by **tgk** » Sat Jan 12, 2019 11:42 pm

those costumes are fucking excellent, that wringwraith is especially sick. my kid was gandalf this past halloween

Lord of the Rings is so heavy and epic and takes itself more seriously.

been much longer since i've read lotr so i'd prefer that. also hobbit can be read in a day or two which makes it harder to do a staggered read of
