I checked The Hobbit out of the library recently. I had read about a third of it in the morning and set it down to do something else. My younger brother, age 14, popped in and asked if he could read the Tolkien book? I think he was intrigued by the dragon on the cover. :) Well, for the rest of the day, he was on the couch reading it intently. I mean, glued. It made me smile. :)
The next day, we were out for our walk, and he kept bringing up funny parts of the book, so we could laugh together over them. :)
Today, he asked if we could get The Two Towers. I think we've got another fan here. :)
"Well, you know how it feels if you begin hoping for something that you want desperately badly; you almost fight against the hope because it is too good to be true; you've been disappointed so often before. But it was no good trying to throttle this hope. It might - really, really, it just might be true. So many odd things had happened already." - from the magician's nephew
