    Just after the four Hobbits get past the watchman in Bree, on their way to the Pracing Pony, Peter Jackson appears on the right hand side of the screen, and announces his presence with a lovely belch.

    Not like anyone's gonna care but I can read the trilogy in two days myself. I've done it in both paperback and PDF (obviously I'm used to being in front of the PC for long stretches, ha ha.) When I was in elementary they put me on a speed reading machine (as part of my GATE experience), and I'm sure they thought they were doing me a favor but they made a criminal of me.

    See, I can't afford to buy books considering the speed at which I read them... thank god for USENET!
