What books would characters from The Hobbit read?

This idea came up to me a while ago, but now I have to share it, so here me out ig:

I think Bilbo would read everything he can get his hands on. But mostly fantasy novels, history books, basically anything that would include a piece of unknown world. I just know that he would love Edgar Allan Poe, Jules Verne and I think he would enjoy Brandon Sanderson's books.

Here's a controversial one, but I think Thorin would mostly read poetry. Especially the Lake Poets. He would read poems about home, love, a warm place where people can feel safe. That's what he wanted, that's why he wanted to regain Erebor. (He would also read romance novels in his free time, but nobody knows about it. Fili and Kili would die twice if they found out. Of laughing and because Thorin would chase them with a knife).

Kili wouldn't read much. He would mostly watch films, but if he once in a while picks up a book it's usually a romance-comedy, or the worst and the most traumatising horror book, a person could ever read. He would recommend them to people by saying "It's a really good book! You will enjoy it!" and then laugh when they come back traumatised. He would like "Ring", "Haunting Adeline" and literally anything by Jane Austen.

Fili would read mostly criminal books or just contemporary fiction. He wouldn't have high expectations for books, but he would complain about every detail if he didn't like one. He would be the type of guy that says "the book was better" after he watched a movie based of a book. Even if he didn't read this particular book, he would say that, just to piss people off.

Porn.

Ori would read contemporary fiction, like Fili, and he would be the victim of Bofur's and Kili's recommendations. Poor guy. He would also read classic romance novels. I have a feeling that he would love Jane Austen's and Bronte sisters' works. I don't know why but it fits. Look at him.

History books and war literature. Do I have to explain myself? This guy would give you an hour long monologue about the emergence of the Balkan countries and you would listen to every word he says. After that he would make you a cup of tea and then asked what books you like to read. And somehow, even if you read a completely different genre, he would recommend you something that you would really enjoy.

Nori's the type of guy who says that he reads everything, even if that's a complete bullshit. He would only read criminal novels (he would have read all of Agatha Christie and killed you if you would say you don't like her work) and sometimes japanese classic literature. And by that I mean Edogawa Ranpo and his "The Human Chair" or "The Hornworm".

I just know that Dwalin would have read "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" like twenty times as a kid. When he was a little older, he tried classic literature, poetry, adventure, sience fiction, war literature, a few romance novels, horror books... He's the true "I read everything" guy. His favourite authors would be Dostoevsky, Karl Adolph Gjellerup (but he wouldn't be a fan of the femme fatale thing) and John Milton.

Cook books.

I haven’t watched Dungeon Meshi, but I always enjoy the dashboard osmosis experience and have a peculiar visual memory. Here is what I believe Dungeon Meshi to be mostly about. No complicating experiences with the text, or indeed character references, fed into this extremely clear vision, which I believe I torrented directly from the astral plane at the same time as the creator was logged on

thinking about how bilbo was alone at both the beginning of the hobbit and the end, the only difference is that in the end, he actually felt lonely

I gotta say I love that I rewatched Battle of the Five Armies, thought “I wonder if anyone ships Bard and Thranduil” and found SO MANY FICS AND ART FOR THEM!!!

This- This broke me

I need more, I really do.

I understand Sauron is, well, Sauron. But they have such chemistry.

I'll keep shipping them. Alatariel x Sauron forever AKA Galadriel x Halbrand

Listen I was somewhat excited about the animated Rohan movie

I am not excited about the Gollum movie, because I have a feeling it’s just going to be “Everything that was bad about The Hobbit movies but amplify it by eleven”

Anyways if you haven’t already watched the 2009 fan film, “The Hunt for Gollum”, then check that out it’s a banger

If your fanfic doesn’t have warnings and summary, I will not read it.

The problem is that I cannot know what kind of content there is, if it's suitable for me and whether I even wanna read it in the first place or not. I bet I'm not the only one who thinks this way, so if you want to get more reads for your fics, include warnings and a summary! It's not that much trouble, for real. All you need to do is to write a few sentences about what happens in your story and tell if there is any sexual or violent content, the nature of it in (at least some level of) detail, and if there are any themes/content related to death, self-harm, intense fear or anxiety, mental disorders, trauma, drug use or substance abuse or hard language.

ngl it's upsetting that there isn't more book accurate fan art of the hobbit. The book gives off this very different picture of the characters, everyone is wearing something colourful and Bilbo is a fat curly haired little hobbit. Not to shame the actors but the movies just didn't portray the characters and the story as they are in the book. They lacked the atmosphere.

I'm going to be away for the weekend with probably little to no internet, and while my (overloaded) queue will continue to reblog amusement for y'all here, that also means that this is a great time for anyone here who hasn't already had enough gimleaf in your life (is such a thing even possible??? doubtful) to check out my fics, and ramble at me in the comments so when I come back too tired to write anything coherent, I can gush some giddy overtired nonsense back at you instead. Because that sounds like loads of fun to me.
