J.R.R. Tolkien

I want to share my intrest in Tolkien with you. I first read The Hobbit when I was in grade 2. That was when I started on the journey which I am still on.

I have been collecting Tolkien books for a while now and have a small collection. The old one's are pretty hard to find and sometimes expensive. Because of the movies, the new books are every where!! I prefer the older one's myself. Each one is special and I believe a work of art in it's self.

I'm always looking for more to add to my collection, unfortunately I haven't had time in the last while because of work and studying. When I do have time I try to stop in to used book stores to see what there is because, "...you never now what you gona get." Sorry, I had to. : )
