The Hobbit was the first book I can remember reading by myself. It's always going to have a special plce in my heart I just love that whole buried treasure adventure story feel the book has to it.

I haven't read it . . . yet! But I will.
That was the impression I had of him when I was reading FotR.
I thought he was a very important character.
I think one of my favorite things I've heard about Tolkien is that he would use a word and someone would say:
"That's not a word!"
and he'd reply:
"Oh yes it is!"
and they'd say:
"I'll bet it isn't even in the dictionary!"
and he'd say:
"Oh yes it is"
and they'd say:
"How do you know?"
and he'd say:
"Because I WROTE the dictionary"

OK, I think that was Tolkien . . .
