It's been months, a lot has happened, but I finally managed to get myself to read again, albeit at a strange time. Just read chapter 1, it was nice to read so many lines recognizable from the films. Two things I noticed: the famous quote "a wizard is never late nor is he early he arrives precisely when he means to" is not in the book! Also, no stolen firework! But I understand why they did what they did in the films.

Just read chapter 2, I think it's funny how so much time passes in the shire before anything happens. Also that Frodo is already 50 years old (or 49? Since the book spoke of "his 50th year"). It's enjoyable to get such a complete story from Gandalf before the journey, yet understandable why there is so much more mystery as well as urgency in the films.

Oh before I forget (I ran out of characters) I also noticed Frodo's dad is named Drogo, which is funny because G.R.R. Martin used that name in A Song of Ice and Fire. Also, Longbottom is apparently a place in the Shire as well. Caught you, J.K. Rowling ;)

Oh yeah and I thought it was remarkable that Frodo is actually 33 haha! Don't mind me, I'm just using these comments as a reading diary.
