LOTR is ruining my friendship....

[peonydeepdelver]

I don't have any obsessed LOtr friends, but I have a few who have more than just a passing interest in them.

Same here, but they totally despise the books, calling them boring and bragging that they were so bad that they fell asleep in chapter one. I don't tell them I'm obsessed, but I often talk about it, mainly the movies since they've only seen those and enjoyed them. Only one of my best buddies is obsessed (along with her cousin), but I only get to see them about once a month. But I never pester my friends about LOTR, as it seems that you may be doing, Rindoein. I advise just keeping quiet about it, and eventually they should forget aout your obsession. Oh, and I also advise you don't insult their favorite books without expecting them to lash back in return.
