To be completely honest, I began reading The Hobbit because I dearly miss having adventures of my own, despite clearly identifying with Bilbo Baggins’ initial adoration for comfort. Also, fiction shall always be the door that leads me to realities I seldom wish to see, to glorious pursuits I feel too small and inadequate to conquer, and to certainties too dynamic to believe as one’s own.
