When on a major spending spree (hey, a hundred quid is major to someone as poor as I) back in February I got myself the Lord of the Rings trilogy in one, big, fat book. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about.
Only now, 8 months later, have I finally decided to start reading it. I realised that I needed something to amuse myself with on my 12 hour flights half way around the world which WASN'T pornography, and it'd be better to get into the book now rather than later.
So, I pulled the beast down from my book shelf and read the first chapter. And it's actually surprisingly good. Not TOO beardy, but still...
My problem lies in that people will actually SEE me reading this huge book with a large picture of a bearded wizard on the front.
One friend already has ridiculed me for it. I'm the nerdiest kid in my group, and I'm not actually that nerdy. No Half Life t-shirts for me, oh no.
Like Goatboy, I dislike a lot of beardy stuff, and now I feel like I have been... infected. Curse you, Stryke, and all the other nerds, you're turning ME into a nerd! Now, where's me dragon armour?

Hey, nowadays, not all internet users are nerds. Not saying I'm NOT a nerd, I blatantly am, but I'm not on the level of Comic Book Guy.
You post regularly on an internet chat forum and you claim NOT to be nerdy?
You can slip it inside the cover of "Fighting Blerks and bevvies like", and nobody will know
