What books would the characters read?
I was just wondering what kind of books everyone thinks the characters from any of Tolkien's books would read? (sorry if it's been done before)
Here goes my ideas... Gimli - physcology (sp?) books Legolas - no books, magazines - Hunting magazines Pippin - joke books Aragorn - Being King for Dummies Sam - cooking books Frodo - How to destroy an evil ring in three days for dummies Gandalf - The Study of Balrogs

I could deffently see Legolas reading Shakespear wile listening to Enya...EVEN SINGIGN ALONG TO PARTS!!! Frodo, Pippin, Sam& Marry: The Thjree little pigs and the big bad wolf, laying on thier stomach with thier legs up in the air...The thought just sprung into My mind. And what was the rest of the tittle to Elronds book? I havent the fantist...The joy of sleeping? Scubadiveing? Swordfishing?
