Tolkien Day~!
"I am personally immensely amused by Hobbits as such, and can contemplate them eating and making their rather fatuous jokes indefinitely; but I find that is not the case with even my most devoted 'fans' (such as Mr Lewis, and ? Rayner Unwin). Mr Lewis says hobbits are only amusing when in unhobbitlike situations."
~Letter 31 to C.A. Furth, July 24, 1938
...
I *would* type the whole letter out since it also mentions on whether Tolkien was contemplating a sequel to The Hobbit which he just published a year ago, but I'm exhausted from 6+ hours of studying today so i'll leave it to all of you to go read that preciousssss letter. :)
