Quirkette has just left Hobbiton.
Silmaril

When my brother was 12, he got hit in the eye with a baseball. His retina was detached, so both his eyes had to be covered by bandages. That was to keep both eyes still so the bad one would heal faster. And he had to just stay in bed a whole lot. My mom read The Hobbit to him as he lay there blind. Our oldest brother must have read it and recommended it. I can't remember how long Dave had to lie blind. But it sure is wild to think of that. It's a good book to listen to if you're temporarily blind, I think, cuz you gotta picture this whole new world in your head....
