Day 3

Date: 24 March, Saturday Time: 10:20 to 10:40pm Book: The Hobbit by Tolkien

Didn't get to read until late evening. I had a quick ten minutes sometime mid afternoon, and continued my book "Baron Rules for Baby", but in the evening I didn't feel up for a science-heavy text, so I dipped into fantasy.

I saw the movie before reading, so that's coloring my intake now, but not in a bad way. I don't have the best imagination for visualizing fantasy lands, so it's nice that Hollywood already did that for me.

So far the book is enjoyable and often funny, like the little asides that I suspect kids might gloss over, and it's actually more for the amusement of the grownups. The book is also easy enough to stop and start.
