Rasika asked this question about The Fellowship of the Ring (The Lord of the Rings, #1):
Is it necessary to read the prologue before starting the actual book? The prologue gives a brief history of the hobbits. I have not read The Hobbit, therefore will I be able to understand if I directly start from Chapter 1?
Addison Dixon It'd probably be necessary. Yeah. I'd say to go ahead and read it. Mostly just for fun "facts".…moreIt'd probably be necessary. Yeah. I'd say to go ahead and read it. Mostly just for fun "facts".(less)
