THE YEAR OF THE HOBBIT!
On September 21, 1937, a modest book about a strange creature called a
hobbit written by a medieval philologist at Oxford was published: The
Hobbit by Jr. R. Tolkien. September 21, 2012, will mark the 75th
anniversary of the adventures of Mr. Bilbo Baggins. Additionally, the
first of two live-action films based on the famous novel and directed by
Peter Jackson will be released in December 2012.
The Department of Literature and Languages and Gee Library invite you
all to join in the YEAR OF THE HOBBIT, a year of celebrating the worlds
and works of J. R. R. Tolkien. The first event will be a public reading
of The Hobbit. We will meet near the East Window on the first floor of
Gee Library on Thursday, March 1, 2012. We will start reading aloud at
12:30, taking breaks during the regularly scheduled periods between
classes, and keep reading until we're done!
If you wish to read, you may pre-sign up for a chunk of time (minimum of
five minutes, maximum of 15); we're sorry, we cannot guarantee an actual
chapter or event. You can also drop by and no doubt we can fit you in.
Or, just come and sit and enjoy the reading!
