I think it's safe to say that The Hobbit is my comfort read. People who know me well enough know that I absolutely adore Middle-Earth, so it's no wonder that this little book is at the top of my favourite list.
It's so cosy and always makes me yearn for a hobbit-hole of my own. The story itself is very engaging and really makes me feel immersed in it, as if I'm too part of the Company and share their defeats and triumphs.
Moreover, there are so many lessons to be learnt from this tale, and so many wonderful quotes to be found throughout.
Really recommend this to anyone who would like to give Tolkien a try but feels intimidated by the Lord of the Rings trilogy as well as to any fan of fantasy books.
