Did anyone listen to records with the accompanying picture books (you know, turn the page when you hear the chime)? Forgetting until reading this string, I had the hobbit (for those of you who who didn't have the pleasure of such book-records, it was a very, very brief version--15 minutes I think).
That would have made me about 3-4 (I couldn't yet read on my own). I got a used golden box set of the hobbit and trilogy for christmas years later (late elementary, early middle school???). First fantasy, read solidly for a few weeks until completion.
One problem, cant find any fantasy that measures up, all authors I've read fall short, and I am soon rereading the trilogy to get my fix. Is this a product of my pathology, or do many have this problem. Any suggestions?
