Listening to the Silmarillion now. Besides the booka listed, I have The Road Goes Ever On and On, the songbook, and the Caemon record on it with Tolkien himself reading poems from the Tolkien Reader. I also still have my 1965 First america printing paperbacks, but they are a bit worn out.
The books I read at least once a year until my thirties. Now I read it every several years,
Yeah, I try to get them all in once a year. If not all of them, at least LOTR.
We (my family) have been through 3 copies of LOTR (paperback). We are hard on books... Now have a Kindle version, which saves wear and tear on the dead tree versions. The only thing I don’t like about the Kindle version is the lack of readable and easily accessible maps. I have to go back to the paper versions to refresh my memory on the terrain.
Got a leather-bound copy of LOTR this Christmas, very nice; feels wonderful in the hand! I need to next replace my paperback version of the Silmarillion, and get a new copy of Hurin’s Children (one of the dogs took a liking to my nice hardback version).
