I read "The Hobbit" for the first time when I was eight years old. I was totally hooked! My mother spent one summer hunting through yardsales and used book stores, and found all the trilogy, plus several other things, ( including a book of early sheet music!) And she wrapped them all and gave them to me for my tenth birthday! It was so wonderful!
I hate the covers of Wheel of Time because that garbage piece of incorrect steaming disgrace of a show had absolutely fuckall to do with the books. Robert Jordan is screaming in his grave while uncomfortably breaking his bones as he rolls in his coffin.
Me too tbh i watched lord of the rings fellowship as a kid was bored cause its a lot of dialogue the rewatched it as an adult and binged the rest and bought all the books and binged them in 2 weeks
Absolutely. Generally the way Tolkien writes is amazing. He conveys history, atmosphere, dread, even suspense and humor really well. I actually chuckled at some interactions (Gollum dropping the fish after Faramir calls him out on having hunted in the forbidden pool) and was so immersed that I actually forgot about something in the story and had genuine „oh sh!t“ Moments (the nazgul suddenly appearing at the edge of the dell below weather top and Gollum attacking Sam in Shelob‘s Lair). Love the films, but the book is actually so much more than the films could ever be.
@@book.thangs Definitely. But they did an amazing job adapting it to screen. Even The Hobbit films. PJ & Co. have an amazing eye for things that work on screen and things that don’t and even though they changed so many many details, they still managed to get Tolkien’s story across really well.
Still need to get into that, unfortunately getting a physical copy (which is the only way to read) costs money and my economy is absolutely garbage so I need A LOT of it. Super glad I have my own stuffed bookshelf with other novels though, I can re-read the best while waiting for pay.
The Hobbit is my comfort book. It was the first book of Tolkien I read and the first one from Tolkiens books i reread in English. It is so wholesome and funny and still has depht in it ( especially after reading the Silmarillion). It too has the perfect lenght and thus weight of a book to constantly carry it with oneself (i found it rather difficult to do so with Lord of The Rings). And the language! I am in love with Tolkiens writing style.
I just finished reading the whole series last month for the first time. I'm so glad I waited until I could appreciate the full lore and world building.
😂 All 600+ pages? I only got through about 30 pages of it, and while it makes just enough sense to follow, it certainly takes a lot of concentration and twisting of the mind.
@@GrandAdmiralMitthrawnuruodo I had a similar experience with Lord Of The flies Even though I read it in English, I did not understand what was going on half Of The time and it did not help That I hated The book from chapter 1 because Of That and because I was really really bored…
if you are gonna dive into fantasy I would suggest DIVE hard, Ursula is also a very good beginning point and Sanderson stands as the undisputed goat of high fantasy. Do give them a try, the immersion is incomparable :)
On the opposite specturm a book that I am glad I did NOT pick up sooner is the Malazan book of the fallen. Its not for an young reader just beginning the journey
The Ring series by Koji Suzuki. Far from perfect books but I enjoyed the series more than I ever expected to. Ring (1991) Spiral (1995) Loop (1998) Birthday (1999) Nothing like the movies. Somewhat dated in a lot of ways but it's such an engaging trilogy that blends Sci Fi and horror in a way I've never seen, with each entry getting more insane and technological than the last. The inclusion of the 4th book was also really cool in it's structure. Instead of telling a bunch of random stories in the film's universe, suzuki used the short story to tell a prequel story to Ring, a midquel story to spiral, and a sequel to Loop I can say almost for certain that the series is batshit crazy and almost completely unadaptable. I still haven't read book 5 "S" and book 6 "Tide" is yet to be translated to English but I hope it is someday.
For me it would be 'Restore Me' the fourth book of the 'Shatter Me' series. After the first three books the plot got a bit boring in the first pages of restore me so i left the book for a long time and then i decided to finally read it and im telling you THE PLOT TWIST IN IT WAS SO SHOCKING AND I KEPT ON READING UNTIL I FINISHED THE SERIES! I loved the series so much❤
This was my first book I read when I hit 13, it’s good but I’m more of a Stephen King guy, Im currently reading Billy Summers, and it’s my 8th book from S.K. My favorite is probably The Shining.
asoiaf the show i saw and never got into books to avoid spoiler but in 2020 covid i read them i have to say its amazing mostly because i am jon snows fan it was great to read Jon's thought and his mind set he is an loner so most of dialogues are in his mind which is very difficult to show on screen
for me it would have to be the 39 clues maze of bones (only I have right now), it's so good and it's really a shame I missed out on all the web stuff they had for it!
The Dark Tower series Stephen King. I saw the cover of 4th book I think. Wizard and Glass and I thought it was a fantasy novel and didn't realize it was something else. Most books I didn't care about the cover but I started reading Stephen King young and on the shelf when I was a little older was this book that didn't seem like one I wanted to read. So I didn't. Then I did . It was good. I don't care for his newer books but I do like his older ones and loved this series.
I need to reread The Hobbit! I loved it in freshman year of high school when everyone else in class hated it. It’s been years now. I need to pick it back up again.
The 2nd book of cruel prince😢 I wanted to read in a printed version but I couldnt find out english version in my country😭😭😭😭 but now I'm addicted to classic Leo Tolstoy War and Peace
@@idrew_fate okay. But more than MC how is the main plot, lord of the mysteries had an intriguing plot along with MC but the main story here seems random where MC goes in a dream world every new arc & fight monsters there. Does this change?
Lord of mysteries for me its really good its has a trope(dont know how to say it my english is bad) the meeting and mysteriousness of the fool also klein is a good mc and ill say that im in chapter 54 rn i just started its a pretty good novel
I have never read Lord of the Rings but think it'd be something to go back to and also I didn't read misery by Stephen King until after the movie came out
I may have liked it better if I read it sooner. But I read the Hobbit when I was older before the movie, and I can't get over the fact that they let the entirety of the direct line of Durin go on the quest...all I can think of is Designated Survivor
Solid I think I was nine when my mom first showed me the audiobook of this and I listened to it so many times that my mom literally started grounding me from it😂

Eh, I read the Hobbit for the first time a few years ago and I honestly thought the majority of it was boring, repetitive, and dragged on, save for some of the backstory. I’m not sure about trying to read the rest of the series since they seem like they would have a lot of potential and are a bit more dynamic. A few books I have read recently that I wish I had read as a kid or teen would be I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and Anne of Green Gables. Honestly, though, I probably would have gotten annoyed at the way everyone treated Anne and her constantly agreeing to change for the town-folk when I was younger, even though it is quite humorous and thoughtful. Maya Angelou would have been a comfort and insight to some of my own experiences.

Can a 8 years kid understand the language of Tolkien.! Can't believe.
What do you do now?
I hate when they put actors from a movie adaptation on the cover of a book. Keep them seperate.
Especially since the film adaptation(s) for the Hobbit sucks.
I hate the covers of Wheel of Time because that garbage piece of incorrect steaming disgrace of a show had absolutely fuckall to do with the books. Robert Jordan is screaming in his grave while uncomfortably breaking his bones as he rolls in his coffin.

The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien, is my favorite book but now I'm reading Lord of the Rings
I am getting to that now!!!😁😁
Reading The Lord of the rings is wonderful the only complaint is that it's too long and it's not long enough.
This is literally my summer reading 😊
for me it would have to be the 39 clues maze of bones (only I have right now), it's so good and it's really a shame I missed out on all the web stuff they had for it!
I’m late but it would probably be ‘The Book Thief’ or ‘The Last Time I Lied’ because they’re just both amazing in their own ways
The book thief was awesome
