How many times have you read the hobbit and how old are you?

[Beleg Strongbow]

High how many times have you read the hobbit and how old are you? Im 14 and i've read the hobbit bout 23 times!:) :cool: :D

[Rosie Cotton]

Seriously?! That's about 3 times a year, I'm impressed! I'm 15, and I've read it about 3 times. The most recent being 2 weeks ago.

[YayGollum]

I'm 16 and I have no idea how many times I've read it, maybe ten. I'm reading it again right now. Why do you ask, were you just bored?

[Kit Baggins]

I'm 15, and I've read The Hobbit more times than I can remember. I got it when I was about 7...

~Kit :p

Yeah pretty much and i also wanted to know who many times people had actually read the book. Curious you know.

[Lucie Baggins]

I've only read it twice. I was about 7 when I first read it and I never finished it. I can still remember which page I was on, it was p77 I don't know why I can still remember it because it was 6 yrs ago! :D

[Rian]

I've lost count. I've been reading the Hobbit on and off for 20 years now.

[Silmiel]

I'm 15 and have read it through about 10 times. I have some catching up to do! ; )

[Bucky]

I'm 40.
I started at 15 or 16, whenever the Hobbit cartoon came out.
I'd say I read it about 25 times.

I usually go in this order:
THe Hobbit
LOTR
Silmarillion
Appendixes
Unfinished Tales

This time, due to the movie, I went straight to LOTR.
But I am reading the Hobbit to my younger daughter, age 7.

[dgoof911]

I am thirteen and I have read it twice. Then i read the LOTR. I plan to read the Silamarilian.

[Camille]

I have read it twice, the LOTR is my favorite and i am reading it again,
Ah! and I am 25 :D

[Turambar]

And I thought I was bad!

I've just turned 15 and I've read it at least 5 or 6 times, the last being 2 or 3 months ago. I only first read it when I was, um...9, maybe.

Oh, and now I remember, I've listened to The Hobbit, read by Martin Shaw countless times.

[Son of Gondor]

I'm 19 and i've read it only once, very recently. I found it to be excellent. Very, very clever book... More than just once, it tricked me into thinking something would happen when actually all the contrair takes place.

It matters not how many times you read a book...but HOW you read it.

I particulary liked the arrival of the dwarves at bilbo's house,
bilbo's encounter with gollum,
bilbo's brave attempt at rescuing the dwarves from the spiders,
their escape from the elves,
and bilbo's dialogue with smaug

A friend told me he loves the book till the part Smaug leaves the mountain... because he was expecting the dwarves and bilbo to anihilate the dragon. I told him, PRECISELY...i think that's the clever part. That the dragon leaves them there and is killed somewhere else, thus turning more than just 1 army against them. It is a very unexpected twist...

Well done and good reading.

[Prince Legolas]

I'm 20.
My mum read me The Hobbit twice when I was 7,8,9ish, and I've read it a few times since then.
I've also listened to the radio adaptation about 5 times, most recently last year.

[Anduril]

Hey...one question at time..

I've read the Hobbit 3 times...

[Lillyaundra]

:D
I am 15 and I am known at school as the Tolkien adict. I love the hobbit and have read it or have had it read to me 29 times.

I like to keep track of who many times I read things, so I put a slip of paper with a talley of how maney times I have read the book.
:D

[Chymaera]

am 38, it was first read to me in school around '73 so I was 10. didn't read it again until I was 17 when I started reading for my own enjoyment.
then I found it at the book store and bought it - cost me a whole $2.25 (outrageous price:D ) it is still in very good condition too:p

I don't read it as much as LOTR, say once every 3 years.

[imladris]

I'm 14 and i've read the book 4 times.
(I don't have the book that long.)

[Durin of moria]

wow i have only read the book like 7 times would be more but i read all the rest of his books in between
i am only 14

[tasar]

I feel odd. I've only read it twice.
I'm 17

[Tao]

1...I need to read it again sometime

[Gothmog]

I am 44. I cannot tell you how many times I have read it as I do not keep count. To busy enjoying the book every time I read it.
