Welcome to Middle Earth

The 22nd of September is known as Hobbit Day. Why? Because that is the shared birthday of the two best known hobbits…Bilbo and Frodo Baggins; lead characters in The Hobbit and The Lord Of The Rings respectively. If those names mean nothing to you then you may as well stop reading now! 

Middle Earth is a land invented by JRR Tolkien and is the location for the story he wrote for his children in 1937 – The Hobbit. The Lord Of The Rings was originally intended as a sequel but ended up as a much more scholarly tome. It managed to steer a course between pedagogical, academic exercise and crowd pleasing, page turner.

It hasn’t been out of print since the release in 1954 and has gone on to sell over 150 million copies translated into about forty languages. In 2003, the BBC commissioned a poll to find Britain’s best loved novels. The Big Read produced a list of the two hundred most favourite novels according to British readers: The Lord Of The Rings came in at number one while The Hobbit was twenty five.

Obviously, any book that is that popular is going to be adapted for stage, screen, and radio. Not to mention board games, video games, and audiobooks. Having said that, there really aren’t that many! That’s down to size and scope which is often what hobbles fantasy adaptations. Unsurprisingly, the only adaptations made before this century tend to be radio and animated efforts.

Anyway, here’s a list of what we’ve written around the great work and what we may do in the future.

Single best investment

By and far best investment Ive made. I used to drive my husband nuts because Id be a fidgeting mess the last half hour of the movie trying not to miss important parts. Now I just turn this app on and *bam* I can actually focus on the movie the whole time. Even puts alerts to my watch so even better. Also I can guarentee all the 5 star star star star star reviews arent fake as one person accused – its just that so many of us movie-goers had the same problem and this fixed it. Yes, it is paid but jeeze its expensive to keep watching movies and updating an app for every movie. And if you read more about the creator he mentions he has several people contributing – so yeah its paid but omg worth every cent. 10/10

Developers note: the RunPee app is now, and always will be, 100% free. Donations are optional.
