Most of my friends view my obsession as only slightly odd, mainly because they all have things that they're obsessed with.

When someone mentions LOTR around me, I talk non stop until someone shuts me up or somehow gets me off the subject. Surprisingly, many members of the opposite sex have told me they enjoy hearing me talk about Tolkien's literature, because they love to see such extreme passion and obsession from a guy about something other than his car (and it gives them hope that if a guy can be so passionate and obsessive about a book, perhaps he could be that way about a girl).
