Hobbitathon

Oooooh hey! Guess what I am doing now?
Listening to the reading of The Hobbit - YouTube LIVE! Well, not exactly having my full attention on it, but it is playing in the background while I am just chilling and doing some stuff here and there. This is the first time I've heard about something like this, and probably the first time I've ever listened to the reading of a story online.
Hmm... just found out that "The Hobbit" is actually one book, and currently it is on Chapter 10. I sure wonder how many chapters there are in all. If I'm not wrong, the live reading started about 4pm earlier in the afternoon today, and right now it is past 7 hours already.
Having watched the three movies countless times, I am just running through the scenes as I am listening to the reading.

And wow... he is actually reading the dialogues in the voice of the actors. That's really cool, exactly the same!

Actually, it was earlier today that JL had sent me the link to watch this. Didn't take much notice about it then since I was just starting my day. Then later on in the day, in my dad's car, I heard about it again on the radio. So it was the voice of Gollum, Andy Serkis, who would be doing the reading.
Mmm... mmhmm... I think I might just be able to finish the whole book actually, with me just doing my stuff, with it just playing in the background.

Edit: 4am here now... 9th of May. Just finished the whole story.. Yay! Oh, and the book has 19 chapters.
