Which LotR character reminds you most of yourself - and why? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Bilbo.

The propensity for writing things about subjects that he knows a lot on, but is no expert (e.g. Elves) feels very familiar, as does the stay-at-home routine mixed with a dash of moving somewhere foreign. And the pipe.

But, I suppose, the most "human" character in The Hobbit is meant to be identified with...

EDIT: Meanwhile, Gandalf is the character I would *like* to be: a crotchety old know-it-all with plenty of cause to be snarky.
