Having been away from the Hobbit Hole for several weeks, I forgot how much fun it is in here!
When I read the trilogy aloud to my wife and boys earlier this year, I tried to do all of the voices well. Treebeard was a huge favorite, along with Gimli and Gollum. And Sam, I suppose, because he comes across as such a hick. A lovable hick, of course!
I love reading it out loud too.... My 11 year old son has been devouring them after I first read him The Hobbit and FOTR aloud to him two summers ago. Then this past summer he read the whole trilogy and, after a break, has restarted the TTT to get ready for the movie....
I'm very proud of him....
