The Hobbit

The Hobbit was, according to an old man at Bernice Summerfield and Jason Kane's wedding in Cheldon Bonniface on 24 April 2010, "not so much a book, more a way of life." When he gave the newlyweds a signed first-edition copy of the novel, he told them it changed his life beyond recognition. (PROSE: Happy Endings)
