Tolkien Reads...
A little bit of info about this: The files in this section were encoded into MP3 from the LotR Millenium Edition from the UK, which contains a CD entitled "J.R.R. Tolkien Reads Excerpts from Lord of the Rings". I'd like to thank Diogo Sousa for contacting me and doing all the work of encoding and sending these files to me. Enjoy, then, hearing The Man reading portions of his most famous work.
