I have a friend that refuses to read LotR because he says its to stereotypical of the fantasy genre. Yet what he reads is of less literary standing and is still fantasy, but very poor fanatsy.
We argue so much, he knows nothing about what he complains about. I feel he likes thinking he is different, a non conformist. When the fact is he is not very different from most ppl.
We argue loads and its extremely frustrating as he never tries anything i suggest yet i make the effort to go along with what he wants. Despite these little things we get on pretty well.
