In honor of JRR Tolkien’s fantastic novel and the upcoming release of its live-action film adaptation, myself and several other bloggers have decided to read and blog The Hobbit for the next ten weeks. Each blogger has been assigned a chapter or two to discuss. As the weeks progress, this page will be updated with links for easy reference, but I hope you will follow these bloggers, too. I don’t know all of them, but they’re all interested in The Hobbit, so they must be cool, right?
