There are a bunch of people at my school who really like LotR, but my friends and I leave them in the dust when it comes to obsession! One guy loves it, but he's basically decided that he won't show that he likes anything that I really like in front of me. Instead, he disses it and talks to his friends (about it). There are a couple of things you could do. If you are feeling like you just want to tell them how you feel, no matter what they think about you later, then I suggest finding a good quote (or make up a Tolkienesque one, they'll never know!) and telling it to them:
The wisdom of the Valar hath past you by, my friends!
Ok, maybe not that cheesy, but its all I could come up with
Mornie Alantie's strategy is good too. It'll probably give them a better impression of you (but could be less fun [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] )
