Prelude to a Movie

As I want to go see the movie, I thought I'd bone up on the source material. The last time I read it was in the sixth grade.

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.

Tolkien, J.R.R.- The Hobbit

Just a breezy and light novel compared to the Lord or the Rings. Walk down memory lane.
