What do you "assign" to the Shire?

But it's brilliantly done and also far, far better than the movie LotR (the first book was even recorded prior to the movies, so it's completely unbiased, and even the second was made prior to the second movie - not sure if the first movie was out already then).

I also realised I like the radio adaptations far more than the movies because it still leaves your visual senses unaffected, which is the main thing I hate about the movies.

I assign RPGing. It's Shire-worthy even if your favourite new NPCs die...

Oh, I understand. Speaking of that, I might add, I know from personal experience that it's great even if the PCs sometimes die...
