Talking Tolkien

We've been watching The Elf Show together which means sometimes Nesko grabs his hair and yells and then recites applicable poetry or chunks of the "Silmarilion" at the tv. It's an experience.

He also realized that he doesn't own any Tolkien books. Well, we have a copy of "The Hobbit" in Nikola's room somewhere but the "Lord of the Rings" set basically disintegrated.

We had some very lovely Tolkien books including collections of art he drew and some supplemental stuff and I believe we sold it at some point when we divested ourselves of most of our books... space is so often at a premium and we needed the money. But Nesko is a physical book reader and has requested copies specifically in print form.

I want to get him "LotR," and maybe an annotated copy of "The Hobbit," and possibly some short stories. And "The Silmarilion." It's very likely I've spelled that wrong. Please forgive me.

I find that I read books from the library or in ebook and then end up buying nice physical editions of the ones I particularly love (or particularly need to shove into someone else's hands.)
