Special Readings: International Hobbit Day, September 22

Our next chapter reading for The Two Towers will be in October, for Book IV, Chapter VI, "The Forbidden Pool".
After a hiatus for the holidays, we will begin with the next chapter in January. However, in the meanwhile, we will be having another special project. Some of the links to older readings no longer work. We will be looking for volunteers to help us in re-creating those missing readings, so that we will still have ALL the parts to ALL the chapters.
However, we will still have a Special Reading for September 22. Pick out something Bilbo and/or Frodo oriented to read. It can be a scene from the books, a scene from one of your favorite fanfics, something Tolkien might have said about either of them in his Letters, or perhaps something someone else has written about them in some other sort of non-fiction--just so long as it features one or both of our favorite Bagginses.
You do not have to sign up to participate, but it would be helpful if you'd comment here, so we'd have a general idea of the likely number of participants.

When you have made your post, put a link to it here on this post by the 21st, and on the 22nd, I will post the links! Have fun!
