Big Honkin' Literary Day

Sep 21, 2006 09:19

On this day in 1937, The Hobbit was published. (A couple of other good sites are here and here)

It's also the birthdays of Stephen King and H. G. Wells.

Do you have a favorite line or a favorite scene from The Hobbit? I have an almost impossible time narrowing it down, but I dearly love when Thorin confronts Bilbo and casts him out, just before the Battle of Five Armies.

As to King, my favorite is, without doubt, Eyes of the Dragon, with The Stand and It right behind. Wells? The War of the Worlds.
