No Dea....it most certainly wouldnt...I would rather die right there and then, rather than eat a human

My choice!

OH gave me a complete set of the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbits, hardcover, in a slip case


must have been back in the 80s


it took me about 10 years to get around to reading the books :-D


but I did enjoy them once I got into them ............. and I'm not much for fantasy stuff.


He decided to try reading them 5 or 6 years ago. Not sure how far he got!

I love both The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. The adventures of Bilbo Baggins and Frodo. Their encounters with Gollum and Gandolf. The films were good but they are not a scratch on the book. Looking forward to The Hobbit film being released. Brilliant stuff

So is 'Hobbits' derived from 'Hobbeats'?

Curious thats all

We had to read "The Lord Of The Flies" in our first term of Secondary school.....Guaranteed to give any child with a little imagination Nightmares....
Did Wind in The Willows after and then Oliver twist..
But I would have any book finished in a couple of days and then sit there bored stiff during lesson as we had to read and dissect it page by page...

Took friend home and she managed to make tea and toast no problem at all. Isn't that great? :-D :-D


Going out soon - back later.

I remember reading the Hobbit at school and enjoying it. Then going to see LOTR as a cartoon with ex over 30 years ago...and the pair of us walked out confused, not sure if the kids that were in there understood it

Because they can and their hobby is eating..

Gee

Gee Report 15 Sep 2011 17:36

I have never read LOTR nor wish to see the movie thank you...not my cuppa

So why do hobbits have two breakfasts?

FannyByGaslight

FannyByGaslight Report 15 Sep 2011 17:23

Everyone knows that Hobbits eat 2 breakfasts...
A Hobbits biggest hobby is eating.

Its all in the book and for those too dyslexic or lazy to read it, it is in the Lord of the Rings films..
I believe The Hobbit is coming out on film as well...

Which of course should have been done first as it is the first book to read before The Lord Of The Rings.

Two questions, how do you know and are you calling Dea a Hobbit

Youve made me laugh very loud at the thought of Diddy Dea the Hobbit.....!!!!!!
