Andy Serkis will give a continuous live reading of The Hobbit online, to raise money for charity.

 

The Gollum actor will read JRR Tolkien's 1937 novel from start to finish with no breaks.

 

Serkis played the corrupted character, originally known as Smeagol, in the The Lord of the Rings and Hobbit films.

 

Money raised from the 56-year-old's expected 10-12-hour performance will be split between NHS Charities Together and Best Beginnings.

I hope he does not use his Gollum voice for this reading. Ears would be bleeding

Won't take long. Tolkien wrote it as a bedtime story for his kid.

I enjoyed the book, but it amazes me how they managed to get three movies out of it ( mainly by inventing things never in the book ).

 

Anyone noticed that CM, Hua Hin and Pattaya are infested with lookalikes in Chang Vests.

I wasn't aware that Pattaya was infested by small people with hairy feet. Do tell?
