In 1967, our Second Grade teacher read us the first book.

Are you friggin' kidding!?

The first book - The Fellowship of the Ring - alone is, what, 600 pages long!

Your teacher - even if speaking very quickly, like JFK when delivering a speech hyped up on methamphetamines - would have needed roughly 60 hours to read just the first book aloud.

I call B.S.!

Maybe it was the Reader’s Digest version! ;-)

Probably means The Hobbit.

Be kind. He probably meant The Hobbit, which is fundamentally a children’s story.

I wouldn’t have spoken if it were BS. We just had damned good teachers in St. Louis back in the day.
