Featuring club members Daniel Thatcher and Joe Zamolo, this inaugural episode of the new Book Club series covers The Hobbit, which Daniel and I read for the first full time in February and which Joe has read multiple times throughout his life. We plan on covering the rest of the Lord of the Rings in the coming months, so you are welcome to read along with us OR you are also welcome to join us for the podcast recording for each book if: 1) you have read the book recently; or 2) have read the book multiple times in your life. So if you want to appear on any of the coming LOTR episodes, let me know! Otherwise, I hope you enjoy this casual conversation about our expectations and experiences with the 1937 fantasy classic.
