Gandalf:[...]"He hated Bilbo and cursed his name. What is more, he knew where he came from."
Frodo: "But how did he find that out?"
Gandalf: "Well, as for the name, Bilbo very foolishly told Gollum himself; and after that it would not be difficult to discover his country, after Gollum came out. Oh yes, he came out. His longing for the Ring proved stronger than his fear of the Orcs, or even of the light. After a year or two, he left the mountains."
Page 56 of The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien. Notice how the choice for proximity on my bed was between George R.R. Martin and J.R.R. Tolkien, lol. That said, I'll do the other book nao.

Maester Luwin: "Another solution presents itself," he said, his voice quiet. "Your brother Benjen came to me about Jon a few days ago."
