The Spiders of the Mirkwood

Being introduced to Hobbits for the very first time

I liked Riddles in the Dark too!

Out-witting Smaug.

Posted: **Tue Dec 09, 2003 3:40 pm**

I thought Smaug was a weird character to put in there.

Riddles! Gollum rules! "What has it got in it's pocketsessssssss?", "Nasty, tricksy Hobbitsesss!"

heh, I agree Danlo!

Riddles in the Dark and when they are riding the barrels ( iforget the chapter name - barrels out of bond?)

Beorn is such a cool character...

Posted: **Sat Mar 12, 2005 10:03 pm**

I agree with you, Danlo. Beorn is cool.

Din't anybody like the Bantering between Bilbo and Smaug?

Posted: **Sat Mar 12, 2005 10:53 pm**

"Riddles" was very creepy!

Spoiler

I didn't have any familiarity with the story at all, so I was surprised to see Gollum return later in LOTR.

And of course, the Smaug and Biblo confrontation. Classic meeting of two great minds!

I quite liked the Dwarves little song taunting Bilbo as they cleaned up his kitchen.

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.

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.

Legs - fry up nice and crispy - tasty with ketsup!!

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!

I liked "riddles", and "Spiders", and the battle of the five armies as well, especially when the Dwarves of the Iron Hills arrive.

Aah, a great book, and one I've read many, many times.
