Explications
electrice : not a single book
JalenV: Asked for and got a paperback set as one of my high school graduation presents (1972). I admit it's The Fellowship of the Ring that I have reread most often.

aekd: no interest
ahef1963 : Hated it. Any book that has animal cruelty in it makes me furious.
