Its a great book, but what puzzles me is why isnt it REALLY part of the Lord of the Rings? But kinda counted as a different story?

because lord of the rings was conceived as a sequel to the hobbit, but it was so huge that it had to be split into three separate books. so its not part of that trilogym but part of the series...only lotr is thought of as a series. so the hobbit is relegated to...its self. did that make sense?

Yes and while your at it, read Cilmarrion (don't know if I got the name right).
It's from Tolkien also. Has all kinds of stuff like legends etc. happening way before LOTR and the Hobbit. |

Silmarillion, I haven't read it. it sounds interesting but the length is daunting. but if it's a collection of legends, perhaps I could browse through it at my leisure.

| Yes, it explains a lot about the legends and stories that are mentioned in the Hobbit and LOTR. |

its good, but in my opinion its a bit childish compared to the lord of the rings, and it doesnt compare to the actual series
it was really interesting to read the whole part with gollum though, i enjoyed that

It's been almost 10 years ago, it could be more, that I've read them.
Time flies.
Maybe Jackson should've made the Potter movies. |

Well, they are old books.
Don't know if the Potter series will be as popular in like say 50 years. |
