Bilbo Baggins was like any ordinary hobbit, homely, a bit lazy, never causing any trouble, then comes Gandalf and an impromptu meeting with a bunch of dwarves and suddenly he's on a journey that none of his kind have likely taken.
I had my doubts about JRR Tolkien, but I read the Hobbit and for some reason I actually liked it. It surprises me because I'm not a big fan of the Lord of the Rings book trilogy (I'm still having trouble with patience in finishing the Fellowship of the Ring!)

I have to admit that I am biased in my stars on this one. This book will always have a special place on my shelf. It was the very first book I read on my own. I was very young and I got so wrapped up in tolkien's world that I'd have to say I found my love for reading in it. I have yet to read back through it again, but I'm sure it would hold up under the test of time. I highly recommend it.
