I need to crack on with The Hobbit that I'm reading my son, it's been slow going.
I'm also reading the Harry Potter series to my 7 year old daughter, we started ages ago and are currently about a third of the way through Book 5, The Order of the Phoenix.
Selfishly, I'm more interested in The Hobbit, as I've never actually read Tolkien and want to get cracking at LOTR, but need to read The Hobbit first.
I'll be honest, the reason our progress is slow is that it hasn't really gripped us in the way other books have as of yet. We're just shy of half way through, but unlike with Harry Potter, or Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials, or even Willard Price books, my boy isn't pestering me to read to him with The Hobbit. I'm hoping as it progresses and starts to get more lively he'll get hooked. I'm also anticipating LOTR being much more exciting that The Hobbit.
