Most books I read are quick paperbacks that I enjoy for a moment and then get tossed into the Goodwill bin or donated to the church or passed along to my mom. If I keep something, then you know I liked it a lot! Remember, my LOTR books are from the mid-70s! ;-)
Did you ever get your Two Towers back? Did you see Merry and Pippin on the front?
Yes! They are so subtle you really have to be looking for them. Thanks for pointing them out - I never would have seen them otherwise.
