It just makes no sense that I should be made aware of things, long before the characters even do. And that doesn't mean I'm fine with hints. But he practically wrote "-insert object name- -insert object exact description- -insert objects functionality-" all the time.

I'm not sure we're on the same page here (no pun intended).
The Hobbit barely gives the ring Bilbo finds any significance beyond it making him invisible, are you thinking of Book One of the Lord of the Rings?

When I saw the trailer this morning, I think I literally shed a tear. Squiggley knows that I am avidly in love with the LOTR books and movies, and actually have performed some of the Music to friends of mine (including Squiggley i think). This book series is AMAZING! and I;m probably gonna re read all of them in honor of this!

Pro-tip: Read the silmarillion. though it is very much like a history book at the beginning it picks up and becomes very interesting when you get to the first few wars

Not sure if missed my comment or just backing up the pro-tip...

I have the Silmarillion, but I've never finished it.
