A friend of mine is one of those types, who refuses even watching a trailer for something further from reality than a teen-movie. Maybe I'm putting it in extremes, but sometimes she seems that way... But then again, I think she's trying to play persuaded(is it right grammatically?) She also refused to see Pearl Harbor, but after half a year it's one of her favorites. I suspect her for hating all I like. I recommend a book: "Nooo, I don't really like that sort of books - you know elves and stuff" and a month later she could have rea it twice. Anyways, if anybody's interested, she is forced to watch LotR on friday the 13th - horror-film night... [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

That is so true. I never thought of it that way, but it is such a good expression! Maybe I'm weird, but I've always wished to live anywhere, but the place I am. My first priority is "out of Denmark", but living in ME would be so fantastic. And Tolkien's style make you believe you are there. Sorry, getting of the subject.

Or else they have it typecast as a book only read by weirdos who can't handle real life.

That is definately a reason. Allthough I do not think we're all like that.

People don't seem to realise that you can read a book of over 1000 pages just for fun.

Tell me about it. I read a book at 'simply' 600 pgs and it took three days, before people started to treat me as usual again. Luckily my work on getting people convinced to read that size of books is starting to give results...

As the girl mentioned earlier. But as long as it's not "Oh, that's far too large a book"n etc. etc. I don't mind.

If only it were like it was in the ancient times, when people who could read were considered noble.

Hmm, I like that thought... they would be forced to respect us... hehe
I'm glad you bothered reading all of this... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] I got carried away...
