Will The Hobbit do damage to the books?

[Mithalwen]

Well quite which is why I posted my contrary one... personal experience can be deceptive while of course still being true. It happens that after graduating i got a job as an English language tutor at a university near paris and made a flying visit in the intervening summer. Now I was literally there just one day going on one overnight ferry and back on the next but mt ticket was checked on every last train, bus, light rail and metro journey at least once and so I got home with th e impression that they were super obsessed about catching fare dodgers since there were already a lot of automated barriers. Then iwent to live there and I doubt anyone checked my ticket so many times in the year. I had clearly happened on some sort of crackdown on my daytrip.
