Two decades years ago, when I first started working in arctic exploration, we were limited to how much weight we could take with us to our exploration camps. Most of us would decided on a couple of books to bring with us. But I didn’t want to bring books I wouldn’t like, because then I’ve wasted my weight allowance. So I brought that gold-coloured LotR copy with me and read it over and over, year over year. Probably read it at least once a summer for seven consecutive years. Sometimes in environments even more desolate than Mordor. Imagine reading it here.
Later, I got a kindle and the weight problem sort of went away.
Needs more Tolkein!
Funny story.
