Inspired by the idea of Monstermash in This Thread, i went to look for it and I found it!!
The BBC dramatization of The Hobbit. This is very meaningful to me. I learnt English listening to these tapes. I was 14 and in UK for the first time, in Cornwall. I had only 100 pounds for the month, and nonetheless, I spent almost 20 pounds into the 6 tapes deck.
I spent most of my free daytime laying in the grass, the tapes in the walkman, smoking my pipe (I had started some months earlier...). This is among my most precious memories.
I plan to listen to it all again now with a pipe. 25 years have past, but just from the first minute of it, it has taken me back to exactly the same spot and feeling that the first time I listened to those words...
