The is only one Hobbit book so I guess they will break it into two movies for added profit.

The best of the Tolkien Books IMO is the collection of stories called The Sillmarillian. They could make a half dozen legiitimate movies from the stories in that book.

The best? Are you insane?

It's a fun read if you're a JRRT geek, but it's a collection of stuff, not really a stand alone book. Sort of like the Book of Lost Tales.

There's plenty in the Hobbit to make two movies, although I'm sure some of the motivation is bigger dollars. But if they're as good as the LOTR I'll be sure to get all the box sets as well

hey, we actually agree! As a high school tolkien geek I read that book rememebr is was about elf folklore and got a little out there. I think the hobbit should be great to see. The scene when Bilbo and Gollum are having the duel with riddles should be classic

making s-b.com a kinder, gentler place for all
