“I am looking for someone to share in an adventure that I am arranging, and it’s very difficult to find anyone.’
I should think so — in these parts! We are plain quiet folk and have no use for adventures. Nasty disturbing uncomfortable things! Make you late for dinner!”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit
An amazing first choice, I think.We’ve been tossing books around for quite a while now, and we finally narrowed it down to The Hobbit! Wildly appropriate, considering that the movie is coming out later this year, yes?
We start a week from now, on the 12th of August, giving you time to get your hands on a copy of the book (if it isn’t already staring at you from your shelf, demanding to be read).
A few things need to be sorted, though. How do you want to do this? Make it a read-along, split the book into three parts (one per week) and discuss the book as we go along, or organise a blog hop where each of the readers host a discussion on their blog every four-five days? Or do all of you want to send in your thoughts about the book as we read it and we’ll put it up here? OR, do you just want to do this on our Goodreads Group Page?
Or do you want to just take this nice and easy, read it at your own pace, and throw thoughts at each other as and when they strike you?
P.S. This is an open book club. If you happen to be reading the book at the moment, or have been meaning to, please feel free to join us!
