Latest read, The Hobbit (1937) by J.R.R. Tolkien.
"Suddenly there was a great shout, and from the Gate came a trumpet call. They had forgotten Thorin! Out leapt the King under the Mountain, and his companions followed him. Hood and cloak were gone; they were in shining armor, and red light leapt from their eyes. In the gloom the great dwarf gleamed like gold in a dying fire."
An everlasting joy from the greatest of all epic fantasy writers.

@PatrickZircher I read it over a series of bed-times to my oldest daughter when she was in 3rd grade. It was one of the sweetest times of my life, so far.
