[Nevtalathiel]

I'd have to get my sister to come along, as she's a huge Tolkein fan too and would kill me if i didn't bring her along (if she has to count as one of my items, then yes i could carry her as she's so skinny. she frequent the downs too, so she'll probably be along complaining in a minute!) also, she can always make me laugh, which would probably be useful. I've then got two lists of things to take, the sensible one and the silly one. I'll do the silly one first:

1. Solar powerered jet pack to help me get around nad escape form any danger without needing weapons!

2. A flattering dress so that when i met a nice elf, i could look stunning!

3. A hair brush for the same reason as the dress.

4. Make-up for the same reason as the dress and the hair brush.

5. A babbelfish so i could talk to everyone easily (for those of you who haven't heard "the Hitchhicker's Guide to the Galaxy" you put it in your ear and it immediately translates everything you hear into the correct language for you!)

the sensible list is just the same as everyone else's; weapons, food, dry socks and shoes cos i can't stand having wet feet, pen and paper to write down everything that happened and a good first aid kit, with explanations of what to do when someone got shot by an arrow and in other likely situations.

As for the book, have all of Tolkein's books ever all been printed in one. It would be heavy to carry round, but worth it!
