My killer is videogames, movies and TV shows and books. I bought a limited edition of Lord of the rings where it’s got gold leaf pages, coloured maps and is one volume and I’ve still been planning to read it 1-2 years later. It cost me 50-60 quid too.
I’m terribly sorry to inform you that it seems that we will be getting an even more complete extra extended edition for the 25th anniversary, at least that’s what Peter Jackson seems to be indicating in the commentary of the old extended edition.
The book is a good read, though The Two Towers drags a bit. I do wonder for people that saw the movies first, if you’ll be as offended as a certain subsection of the fandom that just cannot understand why they didn’t do a line by line recreation of the book. (Spoiler, it wouldn’t have translated to film very well.)
I read the fellowship years ago and ended up in a situation where I had all 3 books but they’re all different editions which annoyed me so I bought an all in one, the gilded pages and coloured maps and the extended glossary were all what sold me on the one I bought.
Figure out how to become a “trainer” or “expert” in your hobbies. At least then they pay for themselves, and you’ll naturally cycle through them, because honestly how many people will actually need a tandem hang-glide or skydive more than a couple times?
Me rocking my overpriced hobby ADHD
Did someone say quickly abandoned overpriced hobbies?
Literally me ordering expensive tat just to lose interest in it when it arrives

What?? You mean a 25 page description of a tree doesn’t translate well to film? Say it ain’t so…

Yeah, but I bet it looks dope.
With stuff like that, depending on the rarity obviously wouldn’t it be better to get a regular version to read?
Mixture of no money and too much to do is my experience.
buying hobby supplies is a separate hobby than actually using them.
Found my hobby
