Your Tolkien Virgin Ping!

(Sorry for the lateness of this Tolkien Virgin thread folks. It has been a very busy and hectic day.)

Read along with a Tolkien Virgin as he discovers and comments on the history of Middle Earth as he reads it for the first time.  These articles started with The Silmarillion, is now journeying through The Hobbit, and will finish with the epic Lord Of The Rings.  At the pace of 2 articles per week (Mondays and Fridays) the articles will wrap up about the same time that the final movie of the Lord Of The Rings story is released. 

If anyone would like for me to ping them directly when I post the Tolkien Virgin articles or my Daily Tolkien articles let me know. I hope that you enjoy them!

... I mostly take the Hobbit at its own level and enjoy it for what it is. It's a fun story.....

..... Well, I don't know, do you think there is any kind of deeper meaning to the Hobbit? Or is it just a kids story?

hehehe, I think that's why some call us obcessed on in the Hobbit Hole. We've found that Tolkien is the best of both worlds, fun and deeper meaning. Which is what hooked my kids at 7 or 8 years old and has continued to teach life lessons to them and me to much older ages.
