It All Started Here

If you haven't yet, then you've just got to read J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit. Ok, so you've probably seen The Lord of the Rings trilogy movies, but this started it all! It was written by Tolkien for his own kids, and it's funny, witty, and thrilling.

It's the classic tale of a quest, the adventures that come along the way, and just how important true friends really are. You get to meet Gandalf, Bilbo, and Frodo when they and Middle Earth were younger. So what's not to like? And you do know The Hobbit is coming to the big screen soon, so get a head start and read the book now. (Oh, I just can't wait to see Smaug the Magnificent!)
