James Trickle uP<p>Have been listening to <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AndySerkis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AndySerkis</span></a>' audio book reading of <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/TheLordOfTheRings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TheLordOfTheRings</span></a> which is apparently <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/free" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>free</span></a> on archive.org. His performance is spirited, though a little uneven in spots, and his singing is just fair. His voicing choices sound inspired by the actors in the Peter Jackson films (AS mimics Sean Bean's <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Boromir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Boromir</span></a>, Sir Ian McKellen's <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Gandalf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gandalf</span></a>, etc.).

Sean Bala<p>I've been having a lot of dreams lately that I've been remembering. Here's my favorite one so far: Frodo and Sam from Lord of the Rings realize that they are being followed as they walk towards Mordor. They think it might be Gollum. But in actual fact, it is a person from a Museum trying to convince them not to destroy the One Ring because it is part of "Middle-earth's Intangible Cultural Heritage." </p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/LOTR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LOTR</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Dreams" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Dreams</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/SFF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SFF</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Fantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fantasy</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Tolkien" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Tolkien</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Museum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Museum</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Heritage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Heritage</span></a></p>
