This was a third reread. It had been several years since my last go through, so I figured it was about time. Just as great as ever!

This is the first book I've read where the movie was so much better!
It's totally for kids, but then why does it always talk about the "art" of smoking at the beginning of several pages about it? There are so many flaws as the author himself said about his books.

The Hobbit is an easier read and the other three are more challenging but all give you strong feelings of coziness, adventure, and wonder. You really fall in love with the characters and the world building is incredible
