Sam WoodcockStarted reading The #Hobbit illustrated edition which I got for #Christmas I haven't read it since I was 12. #LOTR #JRRTokien #reading #fantasy
Finally finished reading The #Hobbit last week. Really enjoyed it and wished #PeterJackson had of stuck to the book more in the films instead of adding characters that aren't there. #LOTR #JRRTokien
isotope239 🥸💻📚 🇺🇦@isotope239 I've also only watched them once when they came out at the #cinema. I've also got them on #bluray but they're still in the wrapping. lol
@woodysj Despite the missing Bombadil, I've watched the movies several times and I do enjoy them. I recommend reading The Silmarillion if you haven't yet, even though it's pretty dense reading. It's worth plowing through it because it tells you the origins of all of the #LOTR characters. For instance, Galadriel is Elrond's mother in law!
@isotope239 #LOTR I attempted to read it years ago and only got half way through before I gave up. I'm going to read #LOTR books again and then will give it another go.
Ben O'Steen@woodysj @isotope239 I've never seen the Hobbit films unedited, but only the "book" edit version where someone has trimmed it all down to a single 4hr run time. That was long but pretty watchable.
