And so on.

I was listening to Nicol Williams' recording of The Hobbit yesterday -- you'll be pleased to know that the dwarves share your opinion.
I love the recording with Tolkien reading from The Hobbit. He rolls the r's very nicely.

It's a tape I bought when I was a teenager (in the 80s). It has excerpts from The Hobbit and the first volume of The Lord of the Rings, and I have another tape with excerpts from the second and third volume, mostly poems and songs. I especially like his rendition of Gollum and of the ents.
