So...as advised, I'm starting with The Hobbit. I ordered the illustrated version by Alan Lee last week, got it yesterday and finished Chapter one before bed time. What a beautiful book!!! I enjoyed it for the most part thus far. The thing that I don't get is the (bracketed comments) in the book. I see that on almost every page. To be honest, it's throwing me off a little. Is that how Tolkein intended it or some smart ass editor thought it would be a good idea to put commentaries smack dab in the middle of a sentence, paragraph, page?
