Over the past couple of months, TORn’s Hall of Fire has been dissecting the Hobbit chapter by chapter.

This Saturday May 28 at 6pm EDT in #thehalloffire on our IRC server (irc.theonering.net), we plan to re-cap our discussions so far with a collective look at the first five chapters — all the way from An Unexpected Party to Riddles in the Dark.

If you’ve not been able to join us yet, it’s the perfect spot to join in and catch up. If you have, come along and bring your thoughts on how Bilbo, Thorin and co are faring so far in their quest!
