The Hobbit is my favorite [standalone] novel of all-time, and it is my great pleasure to teach it as well. I now realize that I even love The Hobbit more than its beloved sequel series, Lord of the Rings (the new film is extraordinary also).
So much to love in this 'slight' novel ('slight' being Peter Jackson's words, and I suppose anything up against the 1000+ LOTR saga would be 'slight')...
