Caught an ad last night on EWTN for this upcoming special. Will post more information once I find it.

Last year, our homeschool association had a Hobbit Reading Club, where we went through the book in detail and then watched the Part-one movie last December. (Back in the 80s in Texas, I got drunk with those Dwarves ...)

Those of use who are Cranks about the Text aren't happy with much of what Mr. Jackson has done ... but one can enjoy the good parts, I guess.

I think one has to experience Tolkien in the text. After studying "The Hobbit," I started reading "The Lord of the Rings" to my four youngest boys. We're well into "The Two Towers" now.
