*Hugs!* Aww...thanks, Steve! Yo...@Steven Cain...<br /><br />*Hugs!* Aww...thanks, Steve! Your comment just made my day :")<br /><br />For those people who have yet to read The Hobbit, please do, not just because its one of my all-time favorite books, but because you are missing out on sooo much!<br /><br />Also, there is another blog on Blogger that is dedicated to the Inklings, a literary group which Tolkien belonged to. I'm putting up the link here:<br /><br />http://oxfordinklings.blogspot.com/2010/05/delightfully-imaginative-journey.html<br /><br />This is to their posting about The Hobbit, and the reason I decided to pick up the book for the nth time to read again :DEmmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06290515700311919367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694508059541422317.post-41810571538390022092010-05-17T20:21:44.346-04:002010-05-17T20:21:44.346-04:00@Javmango...
