It's like Frederick Douglass; every page is filled with the Gospel.
I don't own it. I borrowed it from interlibrary loans. :read:

Wait, Spenser's Images of Life is hard to find? I must just have gotten lucky, then. I see it's going for upwards of $40US out there right now. My wife got it for me at $25 back in April 2007 (for my birthday in May). I guess that's still a lot for such a little book (and paperback), but it was fine quality. What did you pay, Adam, if I may ask?

I haven't stepped foot in a library in ten years or more. It's funny, I just don't read books that I'm not going to like, generally. I've always been good at picking them; same with movies. Anyway, I'm sure you all want to hear more about my luck. . . Well, the thing is I figure any book worth reading is worth having, and I don't really spend money on anything else. Am I the only one like this?

Oh yeah! I forgot I have Greg and Tim Hildebrandt: The Tolkien Years with all their calendar illustrations, including a poster of the Nazgul.

And I have the BBC audio book dramatization of Lord of the Rings on CD.

I think I got that from the editor's commentary or introduction, but it's been a couple years since I read it.

My list is not particularly impressive, but I don't want those of us who only have a few to be under represented!

My wife and I each have our own copy of the Lord of the Rings series plus the hobbit. The number of books and movies we had in common was one way we knew we were right for each other...hey, we met at a book discussion group...what can I say!

In addition to that, we have one copy of The Annotated Hobbit, The Silmarillion, and The Children of Hurin. I also own a book called Christian Myth Makers that mentions Tolkien. I have tried to read the Annotated Hobbit through like a book before, but I always get bogged down in the little asides and therefore simply use it as a resource.

It's a humble Tolkien collection, but you have to start somewhere. Our Lewis section though, well...that's another story :)
