I was trying to read "The Hobbit". Very difficult - strange style of writing that Tolkien had.
Anyway, I left it on my bedside table and decided to check out "The Lord of the Rings" instead. Much better and simpler to read. It better be for over 1000 pages!!!
Someone must have told Tolkien his writing style in the Hobbit sucked or something. The story is off to a much better start.

I was told I must be insane to be for reading a book this size.
No offense to the snarky comment maker but most of the time I would rather be reading a great book. And if this book reads anything like the movies play then I'll be through it in no time. Unfortunately I have lots to do with year end things and I do have to spend precious time with my little ones so I'm not able to devote a lazy afternoon to reading as I would like.
