alt Hacker NewsThis is the most magnificent audio version ever recorded of The Hobbit - by Nicol Williamson in the early 1970's.

Best enjoyed on a rainy afternoon in an armchair with a cup of tea.

If you’re sitting on an armchair not really doing anything else, why not just read the book?
Reserve audio versions for when you genuinely can’t look at the book because you’re doing something else.

Excellent, but my favourite has to be the Rob Inglis recordings (of both The Hobbit and LOTR). The songs are top notch, and his voice is perfect, esp. for the tone of the Hobbit. https://archive.org/details/TheHobbitAudiobook/The+Hobbit/Ch...
