Hahaha!

Hmm, actually I think I like the new translations more, but then on the other hand I'm not used to the old ones (not having even read my Swedish copy yet ). Except for Gyllenbär. That sounds just awful. To think that I used to laugh at Hjortrongull!

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet, but The Hobbit was first translated like ages ago. I borrowed a copy from the library once, and it was awfully funny (but it was illustrated by Tove Jansson whom I adore). If I ever feel like reading it again, I promise to post the names here.
