Why is this considered a classic? It seemed mediocre to me. Are the other books any better?
it's shit. it's boring and badly written

If it was written by a non-white, a non-male, or a non-heterosexual, then it wouldn't be remembered

I'm from /pol/. Everything is about race, gender, or sexuality. Take the redpill
>>7592290
you just don't like the fantasy genre.
>>7592314
literally the first thing you read when opening /lit/ is that this isn't /pol/. you can't frequent /lit/ with such terrible reading comprehension

The Hobbit is delightful, it's like reading a fairy tale. I wish there were more children's books like this, fables which don't speak down to children or try to shelter them from the danger of the world.
No one answered my second question.
>>7592360
No one can answer your second question. Objectivity, and all that.
>>7592362
I'll read that as caution not to waste my time.

It's a classic of children's literature. You're probably too old and don't have the required sense of childlike wonder to compensate.
The other books were written for adults, so you might enjoy them more, but of course you can only find that out for yourself.

yeah, i didn't bother with the rest after that fiasco
Its a comfy-core essential. But I can see why you wouldn't like it if you haven't read it as a kid.
>>7592319
You know what you need? 'Cuz you are spooking me out.
>>7592628
What other books did you find comfy?
>>7592665
i personally find this comfy as fuck, but it gets too preachy towards the end

That sounds more like the identitypolitics pill to me. What colour is that pill, anyway?

The Hobbit is great. It's my favorite book to re-read.
>>7592900
Agreed, although not my favorite to re-read, it's up there.
>>7592319
Everyone who unironically uses pill terminology is of lower intelligence, and doesnt understand the nuances of existence.
>>7592843
woooooow :D
>>7592360
Yeah they are better now fuck off
The Hobbit was written as a kids book and is still regarded as a kids book, even for fantasy standards.

but doesn't it still put a lot of modern adult books to shame?
