'The Hobbit', Audio Book- Part II 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..

omg i love you! i had to read this book by thursday and i would never finish!!!! thank-you!! btw does this short version have all the important parts in it?

[ThrobnWood]

@uscrazychicks It should be ok for a book report; I think the only major part missing is the journey through the valley of the nymphomaniacs.

please upload un a small pieces

[ThrobnWood]

@sudanlive1 I'm afraid not ^_^  Making it into smaller pieces is like fitting wheels to a tomato, time consuming and completely unnecessary.

[ThrobnWood]

@TheLastFort That's the spirit! But remember that reading it for yourself would be much better:>

Thank you for posting this! I was given the LPs for this in 4th grade from my mom for Christmas. Listening now, I still can recite parts right along with Mr Williamson. Since its only available still on LP, is there a way to transfer it to CD or something? I still have a turntable, just don't use it too much.

Edited or not, this is a favorite version of this book for me.

@ThrobnWood I thought that was Rivendell which is included with all that flirtatious tra-la-la-ing (and Legolas could hardly have been the only Elf to like his men short, stout and hairy)

[ResistenceX3]

@ThrobnWood Do you know what chapter that is

[Eye2EyeIIIV]

This is beautifully read – Love the different ascents. Really enjoyed listening, I am still a child at heart. I can not have my Mom of 72 years old, read to me any more! Thank you
