I keep my copy of the Silmarillion on my bedside table, like other people keep their Bibles or porn. I've gone through about 7 paperbacks of it since I was 12ish I think, although the hardcover is always safe on a shelf. Other than Tolkien I enjoy science fiction, although haven't really felt like reading any for a few years (and can't really name any favorites right now). I have an obsession with arctic, antarctic, and amazon exploration and collect books about that.
