I don’t think you even realize just how much this book was meant to be read aloud until you read it aloud. Even JRRT’s often-maligned songs become kind of magical when you make up a little tune and sing them. (Yes, I know Tolkien wrote music to at least one of them.

And he was truly the best detective of all time.
Aw, thanks! Careful, or I'll actually write a novel. XD
