Fun Hobbit Poll

[webwizard333]

1) Was the Hobbit your first introduction to Middle Earth?
Yes
2) How were you introduced to the Hobbit?
When I was about seven years old, my Dad brought his original copy down from the attic and started reading a chapter every night. Unfortunately, he never finished reading to us, and when I was eight years old I finished it off myself and then went on the the Lord of the Rings.
3) Did you like the Hobbit?
Yes, but mainly because I can be sentimental when it comes to originals and firsts (I used to say it was my favorite Middle Earth book, but I've chnaged to Silmarrillion since then). I do, however, appreciate its qualities as an introduction and feel it should be read first.
