I've never read anything by Tolkien before except for some bits of the Silmarillion, but I finished the Hobbit last night and ventured about 100 pages into Fellowship today and it is one of the comfiest things I've ever read. I'd willingly read a million pages of just hobbits doing hobbity shit.

I'm planning on reading the trial when I finish my current book. I have only read notes from underground so far, do you think i need to read more books by dostoevsky given that he was a big influence on kafka?

Also, any other authors i should read before reading the trial? I'm trying to go in depth about existentialism starting with dostoevsky which will lead me finally to sartre and camus.
