Finish the Story - At your birthday party, you receive a very special present...

“It’s the full Lord of the Rings series. I liked it when I was younger so figured you would, too.”

“Thanks, daddy,” I say.

--

“What are you reading now?”

“Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.”

“Can I read it after you?”

“Sure, daddy.”

--

“How many books do you have now?” he asks.

“About 100,” I reply.

“So another Barnes and Nobles gift card for your birthday?”

“Yup.”

--

“So how many bookcases you got in here?”

“12 but some are smaller than others,” I answer.

“There’s room for more.”

“That’s what I was thinkin’.”

--

“Quite the collection you’ve got here.”

“Indeed.”

“You read all of these?”

“Most of them.”

“Must be a thousand.”

“About that, yeah.”

“How do you organize it?”

“Alphabetically by author.”

“This one isn’t arranged that way.”

“That shelf holds my all-time favorites.”

“You’ve got Lord of the Rings on here. I liked that series.”

“I know.”

--

“So what…you...reading...lately?”

“I’ve actually been re-reading Lord of the Rings.”

…

“Bye, daddy.”
