"But no matter your (or my) beliefs and commitments, death is waiting. That means the real question before us today is not what happens after we die but, instead, how do we approach death now. In that spirit, allow me to introduce you to Philip Gould." Adam Frank

The Hobbit, or There and Back Again by J.R.R. Tolkien

Why I Read

rating: 5 of 5 stars
I read "The Hobbit" - my first foray into Tolkien - when I was about eleven years old. When reading this and "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, I had the most fantastical and vivid dreams! I'm glad I discovered JRR Tolkien at this age because he fed my mind in such a way that I ever after approached all books with a desire to let myself fall into the world an author was creating for me with complete abandon. Certainly, not all writing is creating the kind of magical fantasy that Tolkien is. But cultivating this attitude relatively early in my reading life, has opened wonderful worlds to me beyond which even this incomparable author could not have envisaged. So, I thank JRR Tolkien for a book that sparked my imagination (and, I'm certain, the imaginations of millions!).
