Yes. My dad read me The Hobbit when I was young. This part always stuck with me hard.

The best book ever imo. I must of read this front to back 10 times. I realise now I'm over due a reread! I still have my first and only copy ive owned. I can smell them pages and see the browned edges!

Me too. I still have the copy my father read to me. It started a lifetime love of reading especially fantasy and scifi. The last time I read The Hobbit was to my own son when he was about 8 and laid up in bed ill. It would be my favourite book also.
