Just ran across a wonderful fellow at one of the local malls. He calls himself Sir Readalot. He's practicing for a marathon Tolkien read aloud record.
At the moment, he's 24 hours into a 96 hour non-stop reading aloud of Tolkien. He's doing The Hobbit right now - wonderful characterizations, especially Gollum and the riddle game. He'll head into the Trilogy next, and told me if I'll come listen to him on Monday and Tuesday, he'll put aside the Trilogy to read the Silmarillion aloud while I'm there.
Wonderful to listen to those flow of words and phrasings by Tolkien!
