Hmm, I've done most of my afghans with a G or H.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

J is good for heavier and chunkier yarns. It's a little too thick for most worsteds, unless you double them. If you use Js, you'll crochet something up right quick.
H hooks? I seem to own 4 or 5 of them because I can never remember which ones I actually have. AM AN IDIOT.
Betsy, the ebony one is gorgeous, but I wouldn't pay that for any hook.But I'm cheap. I love the look of these glass needles but I'd have arm fatigue if I ever used them.
Tim, I should teach you to knit. It's good procrastination.

If I only had a brain...
I like the idea of Tim knitting.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
That would be adorable.

It turns out I am Kat. Except perhaps not quite so witty. Who knew?
Like Kat, I would at least start out with cheap hooks, the kind you can pick up at JoAnn's or Michael's for $2. The problem is that these cheap hooks will probably last forever, so there may be guilt if you decide to upgrade, at least if you're like me.

My problem is that I like shiny things. Or, in this particular case, hand-carved wooden things, even though the dime-store metal ones are probably more ergonomic.

Ooh. As long as we're learning to knit, that's something I could get behind for out of boredom or out of stress.

Betsy, the dime store ones are often metal, and thus shinier. IJS.
