**ATTENTION! **Mc misspoke about Tolkien rewriting a bit of the Hobbit regarding the dwarves. He was conflating the Riddles in the Dark rewrite with the letter Tolkien sent the publisher. Sorry!!!!! Neither of us will EVER misspeak again.
Mc and Danylo read a classic in the fantasy genre, which is also a classic in the “cheating at riddle games to get over-powered jewelry” genre.
The Hobbit
By J.R.R. Tolkien
Published in 1937 by George Allen & Unwin.
*Spoilers: *
All of The Hobbit
We also talk about the Lord of the Rings movies constantly, so…spoilers for some 20-year-old movies, I guess.
