shadowkatI had to find the list again, because the link died. Stupid Dreamwidth. Not that I'm exactly following the list all the time, but still.
[Been having an interesting day. No hot water at noon - it went out in the middle of the night last night - but it was on this morning, so go figure. Just not on during the day - boiler being repaired. (Found the sign on the doors leading into the lobby. That's how I know.) No, this has nothing to do with the meme but I thought I'd mention it.]
The prompt? a book with non-human characters.
Mine? The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien
Okay, The Hobbit was among my favorite books growing up. I've read it only once - when I was in the fifth grade. Then I starred as the Great Goblin in a live theater adaptation of it the summer before I was in the sixth grade. And, I've seen the animated film multiple times. Did not watch all of the live action adaptation - because I didn't like the second movie of a trilogy, that could have been done in one film, also it wasn't like the book at all.
I haven't re-read it - because I think I memorized it the first go around.
I have a fondess for it - that is reserved for treasured memories of childhood.
This is to forewarn you - diss or demean "The Hobbit" at your own peril.
You were warned. I'm not joking. (Okay maybe a little.)
