Funny, I didn't read the Hobbit until I was an adult, and I almost threw it down after reading the first few pages. I decided to read it shortly after the Lord Of The Rings movies were announced. The opening pages of the Hobbit have a distinct "sing-song" feel like a children's book and there was not was I was getting through a few hundred pages of sing-song writing.

I'm glade that I stuck it out. I read the Hobbit and ran straight through all of the LOTR books, then the Silmarillion, The Children of Hurin and the unfinished tales books. Tolkein was an amazing author. One of my all-time favorites, really. At this time, I believe that I've read every word by Tolkein.
