Artist Jeremy May carves holes into books and laminates the results in order to create rings. Pictured above is a ring made from Margaret Atwood's
The Edible Woman.
If you were able to wear a book as a ring like this, which book would you choose?Link via

It may be just made of paper, unlike precious metals which have some degree of value, but the value itself is not in the material, but in the object it came from. They are intellectual gold.
(Also, lol@ LOTR, which would be my second choice.)
Since it's being punched full of holes anyways by the current American government, what's one more hole.
Actually, I can think of nothing better to do with a Margaret Atwood book than to cut it into pieces.
You maim a book bad enough to kill it in order to get... what? A plastic barbie-doll ring that's supposed to show you like books? That's just having your head up the 7th planet, that is.
I see you need a further explanation. The book as an object is sentimental to the person who wears the ring. The memory of its content is in the mind of the person wearing the ring, so the wearer knows it's not just a stack of text books. If that wasn't the point you were getting at, explain it, or I'll just assume you never had a point in the first place. Personally, I wouldn't bother doing this, just looking at the methodology of why someone would.
