With agreement from slightlytookish and lily_the_hobbit
Thursdays are declared not only "The Cousins' Day" but also "Tolkien Day". ;)
So one of my favorite quotes from his Letters. :)
Letter 213 to Deborah Webster on October 25th 1958:
"I am in fact a Hobbit (in all but size). I like gardens, trees and unmechanized farmlands; I smoke a pipe, and like good plain food (unrefrigerated), but detest French cooking; I like, and even dare to wear in these dull days, ornamental waistcoats. I am fond of mushrooms (out of a field); have a very simple sense of humour (which even my appreciative critics find tiresome); I go to bed late and get up late (when possible). I do not travel much. "
Hey, sounds like me too. :P (well except for the pipe bit and the waistcoat bit...lol me in a waistcoat.) haha
Happy Tolkien Day! ;)
