what's wrong with them? I do think they take a little of the glow off the contents but still
It's just, when you want to buy a book, you want a copy that has a good cover that's relatively timeless instead of a cover that's a tie-in to a movie that's going to be outdated in a few years.
It doesn't matter how good the movie is, putting a movie poster on a book cheapens the book.

I have a movie tie-in copy of The Hobbit from when the LOTR movies came out.
Which is kinda funny, since that wasn't even one of the books being adapted at the time.

I have a Barnes and Noble trade paperback of The Hobbit that I preferred to the movie tie-in edition.
I got both copies for the same Christmas and kept both because the trade paperback is nicer but the other one was part of an LOTR box set I didn't wanna break up.
I've never been sure whether I should watch Fight Club or not.
Can anyone here answer that question for me?
As I understand it Fight Club is a very good film about how the expectations of masculinity in this society prevent men from effectively connecting with others
The problem is that many people misunderstand the film as a glorification of what it seeks to condemn

I mainly resent Fight Club for having a prominent character named Tyler

That said, I have not actually seen the film
That's what I've heard, and that does sound like something that could potentially be my kind of thing.
I'll keep it in mind for some point, then. Thanks.

This is my Hobbit hardback cover, a 2009 birthday present. It is the 2009 edition, NOT a first-edition printing (note the red sun, which is white in the original printing so as to have as few colors as possible).
The leftmost one is the original printing (note the white sun), or one of the other printings with the same cover. The middle one is the cover that my mom and her siblings grew up reading. Most of my cousins read this one. Serious nostalgia for that one, says my aunts and uncles. The rightmost one is the cover that my brother owns and that I remember him owning when I was a child.
This printing, which is impossible to find anywhere, apparently has excellent illustrations which are not the illustrations found in other printings. I hope someone here has this version.
This is the hobbit that I remember best. I read this the first time I ever read the hobbit. I don't remember what happened to it or in what circumstances I read it (I probably got it at school), but I imagined the story in this kind of colors and this is how I imagined all the mountains in Middle-Earth to be green until I saw the movies.
This is the one my local library has, I remember this from way back when.
So, given that I was really young when I first saw most of these covers, I thought that every copy of The Hobbit had a different cover.
Any of you have any hobbit-editions? (apparently, it has a crudton of different covers).

This is the one I have:
I also have the rightmost one in Aliroz's second picture, which came as part of the LOTR movie tie-in box set.
i want to make an "it's about ethics in _______ _______" joke but i don't know enough about chuck pahlaniuk to do it and i also don't feel like reading through the comic in the OP

The only movie tie-in book I own.

so there you go
intention to make a joke failed
As a cavalcade of horrors, it's fine. As a book it has problems.
