Yup. Been there, done that.

I used to cart along my copies of LotR with me everywhere. They've been all over Alaska, down the Alcan, stayed in Washington, and even been to Britain. Yes, I had a bag full of Tolkien books in Britain. They were heavy.

I read Tolkien at the Girdwood Forest Fair (emphasising the word 'exotic'). Which really isn't the most exciting place, but I was surrounded by hippies.
I've read Tolkien driving across lakes in the middle of winter, and at the Moose Dropping Festival (yeah, there is actually such a thing).
I have also read Tolkien in Yellowstone.

The best place to read Tolkien, though, is outside under a tree on a warm summer's day.

I agree with that 100%.

I disagree. I prefer reading on a tree. (I forgot to say that in my last post for some reason). I love climbing trees! Almost as much as reading Tolkien. But under a tree is good as well.
