Literary keys to The Hobbit, essential enzymes I think, are the horizontal reading position, carefully leveled tray of cakes, and a spliff bigger'n Snoopy II. Everybody was reading it. I mean everybody. Neal made me do it. Peer pressure, like 1550 psi. I got to the part, where Baggin's friends are trying to pry and whine him out of his nice comfy limpet shell, they just won't leave him alone for god's sake, pinching him to go off and get muddy and hungry and probably lost, and I paused, and smiled, and thought: "This is just like these guys all wanting me to read this book. It's like....a..... a metaphor." "Yaahh. Cool. Maybe there is something to this book."
