48. The best book on programming for the layman is "alice in wonderland"; but
that's because it's the best book on anything for the layman.

The Silmarillion for one, Unfinished Tales for another.
After that it gets more nebulous as more and more of Tolkins notes are
"interpreted" by his son, for whom the original "Hobbit" was
written.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

| The Hobbit is rather sparingly written, compared to LoTR; there's easily
enough material to make two films out of it, unless you pruned it hard.
Justifying a third is a little harder.
I would say it would have made a
really good single film in the hands of a master (maybe one a bit long,
like 3h, but still). Both 2 or 3 films is stretching it. Remember the original
Star Wars from 1977 was just 2h, and tells a story of about similar complexity.
(I still feel it is the best adventure film, ever).

Many years ago (~1988) I saw "The Hobbit" at Wimbledon Theatre. They
managed to do the book in 2 1/2 hours.
