No I get that. Certain things, they're also nice to just own. Like a tribute, or a sign of affection. I probably carried around a copy of Le Morte d'Arthur for most of my childhood. I don't know what ever happened to it. It probably disintegrated, I read it so many times.
I always liked the Hobbit. Kind of a sweet hero's tale, really. Lord of the Rings is good too, although I'm not sure I was into the songs so much. There is a lot of singing.
