Hi Kara,

Yeah I was wondering about the rest of the story.

I think I like The Hobbit better, less dark themes. Though both are really well written.

You yawned so much and only once did you make me yawn! :P haha

I had a big smile when you did Gollum. I’m not sure if complimenting you would exactly be a good thing, but I did smile at how you brought that character to life with your reading. :)

I do look forward to hearing you complete the reading and I definitely love hearing books read more so than movies … though that said, I hope to see The Hobbit when it comes out, hopefully later this year.

I think the thing with these stories is this, our bodies age, but some persons keep a young heart, although intelligence and such mature. I am of the view that one is never too old to listen or to co-read, or to sing along, or to read poems … participate and the like.

In fact, those occasions improve the whole experience as much as they pause the telling.

I don’t think I would ever tire of being read to. I think about Heaven a lot, and I think being read to would be something I would think would be in Heaven for those who are made happy by such.

Being most artistic, I have an excellent imagination, for creative things, and your readings creates real worlds in my mind where I eat and drink, sing and dance, and hide from the dark riders.

Thanks Kara :D

Yours hobbit-like,
