I still love this book and am hoping that the movie does it justice. (And I loved the 70s version as well!)

I hadn’t realized that Tolkien had actually changed the Riddles in the Dark chapter in later editions of The Hobbit. What’s wonderful is that in Fellowship of the Ring, he gave a reason for the change, having someone (Bilbo himself, or Frodo, I can’t recall) say that Bilbo had actually put the first version, the one he’d told the dwarves, into his book (his book being There and Back Again, otherwise known as The Hobbit).

I still distinctly remember the first time I read The Hobbit. I remember EVERYTHING about it … searching the library shelves for a new-to-me book, seeing the green and blue cover with those fascinating winding hills and streams, opening up to the first page, and then dropping everything else to curl up in the corner and read, read, read. There are few first reading experiences that remain etched so plainly in my memory. That this one remains so clear tells me a lot about how deeply this book affected me.
