"For Mr. Bilbo Baggins visited various notable persons; conversed with the dragon, Smaug the Magnificent; and was present, rather unwillingly, at the Battle of the Five Armies. This is all the more remarkable, since he was a hobbit. Hobbits have hitherto been passed over in history and legend, perhaps because they as a rule preferred comfort to excitement. But this account, based on his personal memoirs, of the one exciting year in the otherwise quiet life of Mr. Baggins will give you a fair idea of the estimable people now (it is said) becoming rather rare. They do not like noise." From Goodreads..
I have read and reread this book umpteen times. For the first time I now listened to the audio version. I think Rob Inglis does a very good job of narrating The Hobbit, I enjoyed listening to it.
There is nothing to say but do read it, it is a brilliant book.
