And, why do we do this to ourselves?

I have two copies of:

  • The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain

  • Small Island by Andrea Levy

  • Thinking Clearly by Jill Leblanc

These are due to integration between my partner’s books and my own.

  • The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy

  • No Logo by Naomi Klein

  • Island by Aldous Huxley

These are because they are some of my favourite books and, except for No Logo, I have one hardcover and one softcover edition.

    I have a one book edition of The Lord of the Rings I bought over 20 years ago. Reading it can be uncomfortable for my hands, being a fairly hefty book and not the easiest to hold. To remedy this, I bought another edition that’s divided into three books and also includes The Hobbit, just so it’d be easier for me to read. But because I’m a sentimental dumbass, I still occasionally pick up the older edition I’ve read many times, because I have affection for it. I love the green cover with a nice painting of Gandalf. Other than that, I don’t think I have any book with multiple copies.
