Funny you ask that, I was thinking about that the other day...about how I perceived the characters before I saw the movies. Honestly, I thought hobbits were like lawn gnomes...and the elves were little itty-bitty people that always laughed. ^.^ But I read 'The Hobbit' when I was little and probably understood like three words in the whole book--and besides the fact that we studied it to death at school and I'm sure that some people feel the same way--no matter how good the book is, if you read it in school you will most likely get sick of it within the first chapter. <P>~~Daegwenn

Over the cobbles he clatters and clangs in the dark inn-yard. And he taps with his whip on the shutters, but all is locked and barred. He whistles a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there But the landlord’s black-eyed daughter, Bess, the landlord’s daughter, Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair" Highwayman Alfred Noyes |
