The Hobbit
By J.R.R. Tolkien
Print Length: 316 pages

The Hobbit is the prelude to J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings.

The Hobbit or There and Back Again.

“Very pretty!” said Gandalf. “But I have no time to blow smoke-rings this morning. I am looking for someone to share in an adventure that I am arranging, and it’s very difficult to find anyone.”

“I should think so – in these parts! We are plain quiet folk and have no use for adventures. Nasty disturbing uncomfortable things! Make you late for dinner! I can’t think what anybody sees in them,” said our Mr. Baggins, and stuck one thumb behind his braces, and blew out another even bigger smoke-ring.

And there it begins…

I have read this book several times, starting when I was a teen. It’s probably the only book that I have bought more than once over the years. To keep up with tradition and modern day times, I just downloaded The Hobbit to my Kindle. I can’t wait to read it again.

Awhile back, I came across the streaming video on my Netflix, “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.” It was in Swedish with English subtitles. I enjoyed the movie so much that I purchased the series of Kindle books by Stieg Larsson. I then found out that Stieg Larson died in 2004, shortly after delivering all three manuscripts to the publisher.

I really, really do love my Kindle.

After using my Kindle, I would never go back to reading real books. Well, except for cookbooks, textbooks, books with charts, photographs, or illustrations, that is. The Kindle Fire, on the other hand, would be great for these.

It’s lightweight and fits in my purse. No more dog-eared pages. I love how it goes right to where I left off, even if I exit from the book to read another, it always goes back to the last page read in whatever book you choose from the list. It’s so easy to highlight sections and bookmark pages. I also love how you can enlarge the font. My aging eyes are tired of reading the fine print in paperbacks. With Wireless off, the battery lasts for weeks. I usually order my Kindle editions on my laptop using 1-Click ordering, but you can easily shop the Kindle Store with your Kindle and buy books on the go. They end up on my Kindle in seconds.

About once a week, I find myself perusing the Kindle Store. I’m always looking for free or cheap eBooks. I’ve paid full price for a few eBooks, but I assure you, there are plenty of cheap or free e-Books to choose from.

I had previously listed many of the Kindle books I’ve downloaded and read recently. I’ve moved them to the Books That I’ve Read Category Continue reading »
