Doe 09/30/24 12:51:11 PM #5:	I read it in 5th grade because my dad gave me his copy and was like "I read this in 5th grade now it is your turn" It was fun. The thing I most remember is the part where Gandalf speaks for a long time about the war when Bilbo had passed out, because it taught me that paragraphs of dialogue start with a quote mark on each paragraph but don't add end quotes. Because Gandalf talked for so long. lol --- https://imgur.com/gallery/dXDmJHw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75GL-BYZFfY <cite>Doe posted [p:982339946] in I'm reread...

SilvosForever 09/30/24 12:53:35 PM #7:	I read the first couple chapters not long ago (don't know why I paused). Chapter 1 was a lot more difficult to follow than I remember as a kid, lol.

EndOfDiscOne 09/30/24 1:09:28 PM #14:	I read it in 8th grade and thought it was just okay. I read LotR after and enjoyed it more, though I still thought it was a struggle at times. I finally read The Silmarillion a couple of years ago and thought it was amazing. I'm sure I would have hated it when I was younger.

masterpug53 09/30/24 9:01:12 PM #23:	I reread it about a year ago and really enjoyed it. My two most memorable takeaways from the reread were A) the eagles themselves pretty much put to bed the whole "why didn't the eagles just.." debate the first time they appeared by eloquently telling the party that they're not a fucking taxi service, and B) the extreme commitment to PoV narrative to the point where the party is sitting around on their hands for weeks at the Lonely Mountain after Smaug leaves when some dude shows up and says "s'up, I'm Bard, we met in Laketown but I didn't introduce myself, oh by the way I killed Smaug awhile back in this terribly exciting battle that y'all missed." --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. <cite>masterpug53 posted [p:982346026] in I'm reread...

Enclave 10/01/24 2:45:59 AM #27:	Bilbo didn't really cheat, he said a comment in passing, Gollum assumed it was the riddle and in the end made a deal that it was a valid riddle after his stipulation that he gets 3 guesses was accepted.
