The best way to find out what someone reads is to look at their books. Here is a copy Tolkien’s The Hobbit.
One of my copies of The Hobbit.
It is such a beautiful cover–and a beautiful copy. Brand-new. I bought it for my children since my other copy I had marked up.
But that doesn’t really tell you about my reading habits and those of my family.
These images should give you a hint as to what we have read and how often.

- The magic tape on the spine of The Fellowship of the Rings is more noticeable in this image.
-
- The Fellowship of the Ring has torn edges and magic tape holding the cover on.

- A bit ripped and ragged.

- The Two Towers is looking a little worse for wear.

- The Return of the King. Note the masking tape holding it together.
