I read it! I have it right here. Hillarious stuff, in my opinion. I remember that particular scene.. I've actually read the book about 3 times.... and I've only read the lord of the rings books once each... (of course, Bored's only about 100 pages, while Lord's 3 books, as well as Tolkein's dragging style of writing that makes it seem twice as long...) Personally, my favorite bit in the book's the beginning when they totally bash the Boggies (Hobbit parodies). =) Rosh
