And besides, anyone who has any inclination to read The Hobbit already has.

Same here, I’ve refrained from nominating SF/F because “...it probably won’t appeal to
Catlady.” So I was quite surprised to read in an old thread yesterday that
The Once and Future King is one of her all time favourites. So much for pigeonholes - they’re going back on my list of options
One of the aspects I enjoy most about themes is seeing how creatively people interpret them. I’m always surprised by how varied the slate of nominations are. We seem to vote on such a broad field, that you’d be hard pressed to guess what the books have in common.
