Ideas needed for interp speech!

I'm going to be writing an interpretative speech, which is where you take a piece of classic literature and interpret it. I think I'll be doing the scene in The Hobbit where Bilbo is doing riddles with his dark friend, Gollum. I'm not doing any of the Lord of the Rings series because there are movies on them and I don't want to be compared to professional actors. But I needs some ideas. What other books are good and easily dramatized? I'll accept any suggestions!
