“I am looking for someone to share in an adventure that I am arranging, and it’s very difficult to find anyone.”
- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit
In anticipation of the movie, I’ve been reading The Hobbit for the first time. Shameful, I know; please don’t revoke my geek card. I’ve been enjoying the experience so much that I plan on going through the Lord of the Rings trilogy as well. Just thought this illustration and quote capture the essence of the book. Sir Ian McKellen does a good job of this one line (and I’m certain the rest of them given his performance in the LOTR movies) in the trailer for the movie, which you can watch here.
(Credit for the illustration goes to Annie Carbo who is clearly very talented.)
