The next book I will be reading (listening to) and reviewing is The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien, narrated by Rob Inglis. This is going to be an 11 hour and 5 minutes long listen. Given my free time and the current pace of my writing efforts, I hope to read and review this sometime next week.
Publisher’s Summary:
Like every other hobbit, Bilbo Baggins likes nothing better than a quiet evening in his snug hole in the ground, dining on a sumptuous dinner in front of a fire. But when a wandering wizard captivates him with tales of the unknown, Bilbo becomes restless. Soon he joins the wizard’s band of homeless dwarves in search of giant spiders, savage wolves, and other dangers. Bilbo quickly tires of the quest for adventure and longs for the security of his familiar home. But before he can return to his life of comfort, he must face the greatest threat of all – a treasure-troving dragon named Smaug.
In this fantasy classic, master storyteller J.R.R. Tolkein creates a bewitching world filled with delightful creatures and thrilling dangers. Narrator Rob Inglis will hold listeners of all ages spellbound with his skillful portrayal of hobbits, dwarves, and enchanted beasts.
I look forward to dropping in uninvited on my friends from Middle Earth.
