One bittersweet thing about my childhood was fandom isolation; I consumed fantasy books like a drug addict, and they were incredibly profound for me - but I was usually the only person reading them, and I rarely had anyone irl to talk about them with.

Not true, although I didn't read that book, I led much the same life. Even earlier than you. Isolated and alone in my interest. No internet, no cell phone...

But wouldn't that mostly stem from being raised without the internet? I went to public school and even I had trouble finding people to talk about the books I read in elementary/middle school (Harry Potter nonwithstanding).

Same - cant cry over breakups but cried over Anna Karenina - that was not info I shared on AIM

Yeah and then we got hit by season 8. Which was even more painful.

I understand this feeling very well, but it wasn't by reading books that no one else read. It was music--no one knew about the albums I've listened to

I know the music thing, I spent my entire 20s listening to "college radio" before Grunge and Nirvana. Outside of a small circle I simply couldn't talk about music I liked. Missing all top 40 pop since the 80s is a good thing!

There were a bunch of videos of GoT fans who knew the books recording reactions of their friends who had not to the TV Red Wedding. When I read the book I was just as shocked as the people in these videos
