Beginner Question about Lord of the Rings Geography. I read the Hobbit and am now reading The Lord of the Rings. I was just wondering if I have this correct: Inside the Shire, there is Hobbiton, and in Hobbiton there is Bag-end where Bilbo lives. Is that correct. 
Just as an irrelevant side note- should I read the prologue if I have read the Hobbit?
