The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien

The book with many an adventure told, and of so many that are of the times of old. Before many men had been in the land.
I enjoyed this book tremendously, and would recommend it to any one who loves such fantasy tales. Even to those who have already read this book, I am sure that there could be something new that you would find in reading it yet again.
For those that no nothing of this tale it is about Hobbits of course. Which are a very small folk, shorter than dwarves, who never like to go on adventures. But of this tale there is one Hobbit who does take an adventure, which would only be a short explanation for in this adventure there are many more adventures wrapped into its solitary title of adventure. His name is Bilbo Baggins, a very respectable hobbit among his folk before his going away, for hobbits are a quiet peaceful type that always stick close to home.
So for Bilbo it was never quite the same upon his return.
And here be an example, a quote from the journey:

"Roads go ever on,
Over rock and under tree,
By caves where never sun has shone,
By streams that never find the sea;
Over snow by winter sown,
And through the merry flowers of June,
Over grass and over stone,
And under mountains in the moon.

Roads go ever on
Under cloud and under star,
Yet feet that wandering have gone
Turn at last to home afar.
Eyes that fire and sword have seen
And horror in the halls of stone
Look at last on meadows green
And trees and hills they long have known."

a poem by Mr. Bilbo Baggins written in spoken form when almost at last was finally home.
