"I don't have my books with me..."
As we all know, or have observed, most downers don't actually HAVE their books with them. The number of topics that are founded on someone who "dosen't have their books with them" or who's books are "in storage" or "written in swahili" is getting ridiculous...
I'd just like to ask, where are all the books?? If no-one has them, where are they?!?!

My friends keep taking them. Those crazy friends of mine. The things we go through to convert someone to a Tolkien fan. Crazy I tell you. Simply crazy.

Most of my books are either upstairs in my bookcase, or in my backpack for reading at work.
However...I do have my one-volume edition right by my knee, where I can and do use it for reference. Ha ha! A jump on some of you!

They're usually upstairs on my shelf, and unless there's something I feel I must be to-the-letter exact on, then I'll just work from memory. I'm too lazy to get out of my swivel chair and go up two flights of stairs, being a very sedentary person

I have 'downstairs' and 'upstairs' copies of LOTR, but the rest (e.g. HoME, The Sil. etc.) are all downstairs, and I have very steep stairs, so I can't always be bothered getting off my bum to go and get them!
 I have severe book storage problems as all the shelves in the living room, computer room and on the stairs are now full, and the only solution is a larger house.

Do you realize the physical limitations on owning the one volume edition!? That thing weighs a ton! Must remeber to get single volumes...
