Gee, I feel a little silly now. I have one set of the books, and there's one additional set in the house that's for family use. One copy of The Hobbit. And that's it.

But though I'm not looking so great on the Tolkien collections, I can understand the hoarding urge. There must be a reason that I trip over guitars in this house wherever I go. And there must be a reason that we have several editions of the same Chesterton book. I mean... there must be a legitimate reason.

Surely we're not all just crazy?

How many Pennywhistles do you have NOW?

Daeron and Tinfang Warble had flutes. I forget who had the harp? Was it Maglor? Someone must have had a lutelike objectr in Middle-earth. Then there were Luthien, Melian, and Nimrodel, singers every one. And Galadriel was no slouch.

We're in good company, Nuru.
