Why are you reading this book?
My group of friends who introduce each other to beloved children’s books have finally chosen something that I already know and love! This is my third or fourth time through this book. We’ll be discussing it sometime this month.
What is the first line?
In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.
Describe the book in haiku form:
Bilbo’s big mistakes:
following adventure, and
finding a gold ring.
What will you do with it now?
keep for reference
keep and loan out to friends
x keep to read again & again & again x
post to paperbackswap.com
throw it away
Anything else you’d like to say?
I love this story – and the other hobbit adventures – because it’s about the accidental hero, someone who doesn’t actually believe he’s up for these challenges and yet who continues to surprise himself with wisdom and courage and strength.
Ha. I haven’t started it. I’m going to…I’m getting there. Glad to see your take-away though–makes me more excited.
You are so speedy with the comments!
Now go read The Hobbit. You are going to LOVE Bilbo Baggins!

Thanks! I wanted it to be both simple and slightly challenging. (Haikus intimidate me.)
