[Annette, The Manager]

and i second The Hobbit

[[deleted user]]

I too want to read The Zoya Factor, though I can't second twice :(

[Annette, The Manager]

well, i am guessing you would again win this month's Nomination :) so it doesn't matter :)

[Gorab]

By the way, if I've not nominated anything and only seconded one... can I second another?

I think you can only second once Gorab, next will be naturally Third :p

[Brendan]

I would like a go at "If on a winters night a traveller" please.

[[deleted user]]

Anyway, what will be your second seconded book?

(You seem very eager for The Help. It's in our common tbr. In case if it doesn't win, we can BR it :P)

Rather it's the wacky Hobbit maturing to a wiser LOTR

[Karolina Kat]

LOTR is not only wiser, but also more graceful, complex and appealing.

Btw, in Poland Hobbit is a mandatory reading for Secondary School (~13 yr olds)

[Rahul]

The target audience for LOTR is approx. the same kids grown up reading the Hobbit. Probably JRR built up more complexity and concepts of Middle earth by then.

[Rahul]

Hobbit in school would be like a big BR group . :D
Cool

[Karolina Kat]

I'd argue that LOTR is still for a bit more mature reader (16 - 17). But I giess it may be appealing to some, to grow up with Middle Earth - same as Potterheads had the chance to grow up with the next installments of Harry Potter series.

I'm still going to skip Hobbit if it wins :) I've read it once, and do not want to do it twice

EDIT: Yup I've got lucky enough to have some cool mandatory readings while at school: Hobbit, Harry Potter and Philosoper's Stone... :)
