I was 9 when I saw it on my dad’s bookshelf. The title and picture on the front made me curious so I asked my dad what it was about. He told me to read it and find out lol. I did, and it shaped my life.

The Hobbit is definitely a kid’s book. Tolkien wrote it to read to his kids at bedtime. Yeah they were a smidge older than 6 at the time, but not by much. Priscilla would have been 7 when it was published. He actually sent pre-published copies of the book out to children focus groups to get their feedback before he decided to publish it.

So as your blood pumps around your body, some of the plasma seeps out of your capillaries and into the surrounding cell structure, washing away any cellular garbage like dead cells and dis-RNA’d proteins left over from the war on drugs diseases. This flows into the lymphatic system and is transported away to filtering and cleaning stations called lymph nodes and the waste eventually finds its way into the kidneys or intestines to be expelled along with the rest of the body’s waste.

Wow. Douglas Adams was right, then. His frictionless spacecraft was like impossible to see properly and had no color, just black. And you couldn’t touch it, either. Your hands just kept slipping away off it.

Cellulose is blown in. It is more efficient than fiberglass too.

Why not cellulose?

I will say the writing definitely gets better, but the magic in the series doesn’t ever get “harder” as the terms go. It’s all pretty much just there to suit the plot. But the writing definitely gets better.
