Yes, I don't know if I'd say that they act on an instinctual basis, some of them (i.e. the obvious choices Bilbo & Frodo) are quite good at thinking abstractly. Bilbo's a scholar and an artist, and Frodo's some kind of seer.

I'm more likely to go with Willie's idea and say they talk about what they like, and what they like is having their little home of their own with good food and a fire, and now and again some hot bath water.

And of course, weed and a good beer.
