-you are endeavouring to get atleast one volume of LOTR in many MANY languages and kick yourself when you go to a country and don't buy one. so far i have TTT in swedish and french, and the whole thing in english and german. i went to poland and didn't buy it [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]

-you squeal with delight while reading teh chapter names in said german version because the titles are so adorable AND they have stuck close to it (in french they changed flotsam and jetsam to something that was only one word so OBVIOUSLY it wasn't the same whereas in german it looks pretty good)

-you advise people who only speak english as a second language to read the original english version even if they don't understand it.

-you order said versions from the countries even if you don't go there (next one is going to be ROTK in russian i think).
