get into the reading hobbit!
Posted by u l a n on Saturday, December 09, 2006 at 10:07 PM.
My group, TPTS, is holding a group reading of JRRT's The Hobbit
. It's an activity (online) that I've pushed for. It was thought up by Reitch and I'm glad it has finally started. I realized how much I missed talking about these books that I love so dearly.
If you're new to Tolkien, The Hobbit is the best way to get acquainted with the Professor's works. It's light and entertaining.
While googling for photos of different editions of The Hobbit, I saw this very cute and rather un-Tolkien-y cover. It's not your usual High Fantasy artwork and I like it very much! This is a Dutch language edition. It would be a nice addition to my collection. I collect non-English editions of The Hobbit, but not avidly. I don't seek them actively. Sometimes, my cousin just brings home copies if they're not too expensive.
I wonder how The Hobbit would read if it was translated to Tagalog...
Ang Hobbit ni J.R.R. Tolkien.
Sa isang butas sa lupa, may nakatirang hobbit.
Ngek...that's not the best way to translate the first line, I'm sure.
Can't wait to get The Annotated Hobbit
that I ordered from Amazon. And also The Marvellous Land of Snergs
which Tolkien has cited as having been an influence on his writing of The Hobbit.

Hi - I hope you dont mind - I copied this image of The Hobbit cover onto my blog post. I also write about books - I'm so glad I've found this blog, we seem to like many of the same ones.
