Hair,

I read the Lord of the Rings trilogy about 2 years ago. When I had completed reading Return of the King, I felt as if a lover and I had broken up. It was kind of sad.

Just this week, I started to read The Hobbit. I started to read it back in high school, but never got very far. Now suddenly, I am back in the world of JRR Tolkien again!

Hungry dwarves! Singing by the firelight. Second breakfast. Dragons and adventures!

Oh--thank the Lord for good literature.

I'm very fond of second breakfast, personally. And I do enjoy a good elevensies, too.
