The Hobbit

For being nearly a decade old, The Hobbit has aged very well, it's probably one of the biggest inspirations for the hero's journey. I'm very familiar with the Lord of the Rings movies, but that's it. I also listened to Andy Serkis's narration which, honestly is THE way to read this. He's not just a narrator, he's a voice actor, and every single character in this novel has their own unique voice. This was a fun novel, and I can't wait to read the Lord of the Rings books.
