I very much doubt we'll require much in the way of formal rules, but just for the sake of formality and clarity:
Chapter VII: Queer Lodgings
Chapter VIII: Flies and Spiders
Rules
I very much doubt we'll require much in the way of formal rules, but just for the sake of formality and clarity:
- Discussion is welcome and encouraged, as is disagreement. Name-calling and personal attacks will be punished by forced attendance at the Vogon-Orcish Poetry Recitation Competition in Minas Morgul.
- There is no spoiler policy in place. Although we're reading the Hobbit, please feel free to bring in things from other Tolkien works, any of the films, the History of Middle Earth, the Letters of JRR Tolkien, and, if you should like, other literary sources.
- There is no such thing as too much geekery. Or taking the text too seriously.
- If you have any concerns at any point, I'm the closest thing this gong show has to a mod, so feel free to get in touch. I can be reached either by PM through this site, or directly by email at sigridhr.lokidottir@gmail.com.

He also has a couple of relevant dreams, I think, but I'm afraid I find Tolkien's dream sequences so opaque that I forget them instantly, so I couldn't tell you what they are.
(I'm with you on the Attercop and Tomnoddy line - I always remember it, and I will be very sad if they don't put Bilbo's little spider-taunting poems into the movie.)

Yes, I've been noticing his dreams as I've been going along - he has a sort of dream-premonition about the goblins, and he dreamt of Bag End the night they spent at the eyrie. There's definitely something going on with the dreams, but I'm not sure what it is!
If that doesn't make it into the movie, I cannot be held responsible for the consequences of my actions.
