Now a major motion picture
A great modern classic and the prelude to THE LORD OF THE RINGS Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely traveling any farther than his pantry or cellar. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard Gandalf and a company of dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away on an adventure. They have launched a plot to raid the treasure hoard guarded by Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon. Bilbo reluctantly joins their quest, unaware that on his journey to the Lonely Mountain he will encounter both a magic ring and a frightening creature known as Gollum.
“A glorious account of a magnificent adventure, filled with suspense and seasoned with a quiet humor that is irresistible . . . All those, young or old, who love a fine adventurous tale, beautifully told, will take The Hobbit to their hearts.” – New York Times Book Review

Summary
The Hobbit or There and Back Again by J.R.R. Tolkien 1937 310 pages Maybe the best adventure story I've ever read. If you plan on seeing the movies(starting with first release in December 2012) try and read the book first. Better hurry! If you can give yourself some quiet reading time where you can focus on this story you can immerse yourself into this amazing fantasy world and story by Tolkien. Far and away my favorite of his books (including the Lord of the Rings Trilogy). It's really exciting that the movie has the chance to follow the amazing Lord of the Rings movies which as always is the case were not as good as the books but were great. I read it as a teenager and again as an adult and this old book contains a story that will never grow old.
