Every time this happens I chuck the fucking book out of the window. There are like fifteen books outside my window on the ground, needless to say.

For context, I'm 19 and I didn't used to read at all until about a year ago. I decided to read The Hobbit because I've been told how amazing Tolkien's storytelling is, and oh my, I couldn't have been more amazed.

I genuinely felt as though I was there during the riddles in the dark, and when Bilbo cleared the canopy of the trees in Mirkwood and felt the breeze on his cheeks(and in pretty much every other affair, for that matter). At times it felt realer than my actual life. Tolkien's ability to effortlessly build a world and capture your imagination in it has almost left me dumbfounded.

I will forever go on seeking the feeling Tolkien extended to me, through the mere words on pages.The Lord of the Rings here I come!

Where can I go to discuss literature now that I've ascended past this board? I have been an avid reader for the past 18 years of my life. I routinely devour books, hundreds of pages at a time, and average reading 50 books a year. Is there some sort of forum where the high-brow intelligentsia congregate?Thanks in advance.
