I read that back when I was in middle school.

Can still remember picturing the “elven goodies” back then...

I first read the books in 1970 as well. They came in a four-book boxed set and I had to get them at an office supply store, since they were “underground.”

I’ve read them on average of once every 14-17 months since then, and I’m reading them again. I just finished The Hobbit, and have started on The Fellowship.

Ha - just picked this up in a library sale - be careful not for the young ones that. But it was hilarious.
