I've spent a lot of time in the doctor's office (and waiting room!) in the past few months, and I bring a Tolkien book quite frequently. If I want light stuff, I'll bring "The Hobbit", if not, the Silmarillion, if in between, one of the LOTR books. As others have said, you can always find something new in them - furthermore, they're a nice jolt of perspective in case I become too mired in self-pity [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img].
