Riddles in the Dark

"Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandalled feet."

Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion
I'm afraid there's no denying
I'm just a dandelion
a fate I don't deserve.

Riddles in the Dark and when they are riding the barrels ( iforget the chapter name - barrels out of bond?)
But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.
We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights.
And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.
Full of the heavens and time.

I thought that was one of the best scenes in the book, just because their conversational styles were so very different, yet meshed so well together. Tom Shippey thinks the same. He spends a fairish chunk of text on it in J.R.R. Tolkien: Author of the Century.drew wrote:Din't anybody like the Bantering between Bilbo and Smaug?

Riddles in the Dark is my favorite. I like Gollum a lot... he makes me laugh. My friend and I read that chapter together and just had fun with his speech. It's awesome.
I like the troll scene a whole lot, too, along with Beorn and Bard.

Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.

It's funny Riddles is the least interesting chapter to me.
I'm not a big Gollum fan I guess.
I love "Flies and Spiders"
Bilbo really comes into his own in that chapter.
Old fat spider spinning in a tree!
Old fat spider can't see me!
Attercop! Attercop!
Won't you stop,
Stop your spinning and look for me!
Old Tomnoddy, all big body,
Old Tomnoddy can't spy me!
Attercop! Attercop!
Down you drop!
You'll never catch me up your tree!
