Possibly considered a bit basic or boring, but definitely Tolkien for me. It's a classic for a reason, and personally it is still so special to me
One of my earliest and dearest childhood memories was my dad reading the Hobbit to me when I was quite small. We later read the trilogy books as well. Loved them all. Recently read them all with my daughter, creating a whole new set of precious memories.
Out of curiosity and self interest. How old were you when your dad read the hobbit to you? And how old was your kid when you started the trilogy?
Can‘t wait to get started with the books with mine.
I was 5 or 6 when he read the Hobbit aloud to me. The trilogy is a bit denser so I read that jointly with him I think when I was 10. My daughter and I did all the books as bedtime stories when she was 8, and she liked them all, but the Hobbit is definitely her favorite.
Me too. Middle earth is my haven. LOTR is both my favorite book and favorite movie. I have even enjoyed other Tolkien content including the Silmarillion, the Hobbit movies, and the Rings of Power. I know they're not LOTR standard but they are still enjoyable and don't detract from what I love about Tolkien's universe.
