Imagine a favorite media series - sprawling, incredible masterpiece, moving, imaginative, has huge impact on you.
But you've never met another person who's seen it, and nobody watches when u suggest it. So lonely, and is basically what being a teen reading fantasy series is like

What was that sci fi short story book or whatever you got me to start reading? Was very good.

Me reading Lord of the Rings around age 13… hell, pretty much everything I devoured from the school and public libraries, fiction & non-fiction, throughout the 1980s

That was me and #HarryPotter as a kid. I knew other kids read it, but they were teens and didn't want to admit to reading "kiddy shit".

Don't see the problem, I enjoyed having my private worlds and feeling smug about it
