Sacrifice for Tolkien?

[Balin999]

I never made many sacrifices though I sometimes got strange looks from my friends while talking about LotR. Some of my friends said that the books were crap just because it was so much to read. But I never cared, and I still don't care. I know what I have with the books, and nothing will take them away from me and my memory.

I sacrifice my popularity at school

Who cares if you're popular or not? And what does popular mean anyway? That you are at the time rather liked by some idiots that might look rather good but mostly can't count to three. They get everything while they are at school, but in real life they are helpless because they can't cope with let's say a "no" from their boss or sth like that.
And if you're not popular because you spend your time reading a certain book, the friendship of such people isn't important anyway. Such people will never be loyal to anyone but themselves.


Stop being perfect!
