None had a stronger bond with the stories of yore than their leader. Louis the Stout of Heart and Keen of Mind. Then there was Myron, the companion, reader of the unreadable scrolls - simple of mind and loyal only to Louis. And the third, Brandon the tiny of stature, but the haver of a girlfriend (sorte of) for almost two weeks, and a high score in brothers of Mario the Super. To transport Louis and Myron, a sturdy Vaan of Mini, steered by Magic, or Mayhap an invisible parent, it is known not. Father: So, did you guys see the first movies on DVD?

My mother first read the Hobbit to me somewhere around 1952. I first read LOTR in 1967. Now I have to read them as ebooks to get the font big enough.

I read The Hobbit at age thirty-nine, then read it again last year when I was seventy-six. The second time I kept thinking, “Is this thing ever going to END?” Guess I’m suffereng from AAADD (Age-Activated Attention Deficit Disorder).

Same with the middle Lord of the Rings movie, when all those dentally-challenged monsters kept gouging at the heroes.
