In reply to LeAnn. No. The book is still sitting delicately on my end table right on top of Thomas Maltman's Little Wolves, both of them unread.

Did we get an update yet on whether or not The Hobbit is your thing? It’s not my thing, although I like The Hobbit better than Lord of the Rings, so I’m really curious if it’s your thing.

I still haven’t seen The Hobbit movie, but the Lord of the Rings movies were better for me than the books. That doesn’t happen often.

In reply to Suzy. I find that often my general nostalgia for the time I fell in love with a book/song/record overpowers my ability to think critically about it. I'd be curious to see how your re-read goes.

I also hate baking, so my go to dessert is cheesecake. Sometimes I even get creative and make other toppings, but basic NY Style is my general contribution. It is delicious.

I love the Hobbit and used to re-read it annually when I was a teenager, but haven’t read it now for years. Maybe I should try it again and see if my opinion has changed. I may have to wait a bit since I already gave three hours of my life this month to watch the movie.

But are those 'throw in the oven' brownies as delicious as the Ghiardellis? I doubt it. They are some damn good brownies and worth every penny of the $1.49 price tag. Also, I don't remember why I hated The Hobbit only that I totally did.
