My favourite chapter is Chapter V - Riddles in the Dark. Tolkien's reading of this chapter is fantastic, and it is a great example of how a rewrite can improve the chapter. The 1951 chapter is much enhanced over the first edition text. My favourite line in the whole book does not appear in the first edition “Thief, thief, thief! Baggins! We hates it, we hates it, we hates it for ever!”

Great choice indeed 😃👍

Beautifully read. It really is one of the best chapters in the book.

[@brewingbooks]

Couldn't agree more!

Would you ever consider doing audiobooks? You could be really good at it. You have a nice voice.

Great idea, I would buy them. Shame the licensing would be a huge hurdle, unless he does original content.
He could get around this by just doing TH-cam videos instead.

What an epic moment and what a way with words Tolkien had. I totally forgot the details of the Battle of the Five Armies in the book. Should read it again 👍.

[@Bhenderson0001]

Very nicely done, love the echo.......... I must admit I was quite taken up by your reading, you just cannot go wrong with Tolkien.... Loved the sound effects as well.... Fantastic rendition.

[@brewingbooks]

Thank you kindly!

[@BradlehDadleh]

I seriously can’t wait for the hobbit special edition!

[@NimbusAngelo]

My favorite chapter is Roast Mutton! Gotta love, Tom, Bert, and William!

[@brewingbooks]

Great choice! Love that chapter 😃

[@Trotter_Tolkien]

I love Tolkien's reading of most of this chapter, wonderful.

[@charliemaddock3459]

I love bilbo's discussion with Smaug most , especially how Smaug talks of eating their ponies hahaha

[@brewingbooks]

Very true! 🙂

Tremendous reading voice my friend.

How is your copy of Nature of Middle Earth the same height as the others? Mine is about half an inch shorter and it kind of drives me crazy

[@Trotter_Tolkien]

The US/HMH edition is about 1cm (~1/2 inch) shorter than the UK editions and other editions. This should no longer happen with US editions as they are all now HarperCollins editions and should be the same size.

If you don't mind me asking, where are you from? I can't pinpoint your accent.
