I took my three LotR paperbacks along on vacation - I find that I always enjoy rereading them, finding something new and fresh each time. And I did take notes for good themes and posting ideas for the Downs! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] For just sheer reading enjoyment, the book itself beats all the reference material, IMO.

I would recommend you to take The Hobbit, LOTR and The Silmarillion with you. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
If you don´t have space enough for all those, then I suggest you choose yourself. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
