You don't remember what language the book was written in? :-)

No, I meant the info, stupid.
And AAMOF I just found a copy at my brother's. His girlfriend was just reading it, otherwise I wouldn't have remembered it!
It was a swedish translation, the 12:th edition, 4:th print I think, from 1990. And it clearly said his name was Bilbo Bagger, and that he was NOT a hobbit, but a hob (pronounced hoob like pool). That's pretty fucked up right there!
I don't know why they translated it, there should be a law, and I have always said "hobbit" anyhow, so there you go.
