I had lost my ring (my precious!)

What is this urge to have your own one rings? if you could explain it that would be great. speaking of which , I spend no money on LotR at all. i have all the paperback editions of the boks the library doesnt have, and i dont even have a copy of RotK.

Because we either get really bored (as in my case) and/or just want to own something that reminds us of LotR. Unlike some other obsessions, there isn't really that much merchandise (except movie related) that goes along with it. You can show everyone your tattered book, but it isn't as much fun as a ring of power. On another note, I don't spend that much money myself. FotR was a gift, and I bought TTT and RotK myself. That's all. I read everything else I have read at the library. (oh wait, except the Hobbit which my mom bought me)
