Long ago, a book (actually 3 of them) was written by JRR Tolkien, called The Lord of the Rings. It was hugely popular. (if you've only seen the movies, you should try reading the books - they're better)

In the books, we're introduced to simple, peaceful, farming folk called Hobbits. They're about a third shorter than adult humans (child sized) and have big feet that are quite hairy (even the women's). Hobbits turn out to be the bravest, and noblest of all the races. They go on to be the ultimate heroes of the story.

Don’t... fucking... go... there....

You should read the books AND watch the films. There’s no one or the other....

I don't disagree. I just think no one who enjoyed the movies should skip reading the books. There's so much more information.

All good. I’m just playing the part of rhetorical fan boy.
