Michelle Kobus (rainbowsunset) I've only read The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and The Silmarillion (of which I only read once and years ago, so it's back on my TBR pile...the others are *always* on my TBR pile each time I finish them lol); of course, I want to read more. Sometimes I just feel overwhelmed by the volume of books associated with LOTR, and keep putting it off; very counter-productive, I know lol. :)

If price is an issue, and no matter what country you live in, abebooks.com can supply both new and used editions. :) No reason not to be able to enjoy what you want to read.

message 140: by Michael (new)

Michael (michaeldiack) | 13 comments Read all the books by Tolkien, and just recently added "Letters from Father Christmas' to my collection and it was a joy to read over Christmas. Looking forward to hopefully copying the idea with my kids i.e sending an adventure-filled tale to my kids through the posts pretending to be from Father Christmas.

I think my ambition now is to collect rare or first edition Tolkien books, I'd rather invest in something physical and wonderful like that than anything purely financial like stocks or shares.
