March 27 - mark your calendars

Enthusiastic moms at swimming agreed that March 27 would be a great day to get together and discuss The Hobbit.  I have a few ideas and am doing a bit of research for others (http://www.teachingideas.co.uk/library/books/thehobbit.htm).  Rune writing, map making, dwarf peg dolls - if you have any ideas, let me know.  You have 3 weeks to read the book if you haven't done so already.  Watching the movie(s) does not count as they are VERY different (which will be fun to discuss).
