'The Hobbit', Audio Book- Part III of III

This is J.R.R. Tolkien's 'The Hobbit'. A classic on so many levels methinks^_^

This reading of the book by Nicol Williamson is an abridged version, meaning of course that it is not the entire book word for word.


Anywho, I put some pictures in with the vid, though they're not in sync with the story. That's what your imagination is for.. O_o And if ye're anything like me, ye'll know that reading a book like The Hobbit, or LOTR & using your imagination to see the world, to create those memorable feelings, is immeasurably more satisfying than watching any movie. Not dissing the LOTR movies here peoples, I quite enjoy the.. first one, but they're just movies with no-where near the feeling of the books. That being said, I like perrty pictures too & so I put some in here because I could.

Suggestion: Forget the pictures, have a quiet room, close yours eyes, sit back & listen. With any luck it's a rainy day. I always seemed to love reading LOTR & The Hobbit on rainy days..

What chapter does this start at?

[ThrobnWood]

@izzybee144 I think it might be Chapter 12: Inside Informaton...

This is really great, thanks for uploading!

[ThrobnWood]

@phiberoptick No probs, I please to aim :3

Awesome! Have you cut some parts out? I.e. Little paragraphs here and there? Or am I reading a longer version (highly unlikely) aha fantastic videos/audio! I'm not a huge reader, I watch a lot of films and my imagination isn't great but this puts me in a world of my own!

[ThrobnWood]

@Zandiniho I didn't cut any out, but it seems it has been abridged here & there. It's just how it is unfortunately ._. LOTR is rediculously abridged. Three chapters were cut from the version I wanted to upload; 'The Old Forest', 'In the House of Tom Bombadil', & 'Fog on the Barrow-downs'. The first movie obviously didn't have them either.

@izzybee144

It has the ending of chapter 12 and the rest of chapter 13...

Bilbo's voice sounds like Merry's in Lord of the Rings! :)

@ThrobnWood Is that why the new Hobbit movie is so long? To put all the parts from LOTR they cut out or are they mashing up The Silmarillion with it? If I remember right, the liner notes for the LPs said that had they done an unabridged LP of The Hobbit, it would've been 20 records long and been very cost prohibitive.

Is there an upload of Sir John Gielgud reading Swift's Gullivers Travels on here anyplace?

I dont know about you but the characters in the Hobbit seemed to be rather venal, greedy and petty...
