Meanwhile Gloin wasn't even mentioned in Fellowship.

    And even when you DO find a book in common, either it was so long ago for one of you, that nothing was retained to build a conversation with, OR you both have wildly different takes on what you liked/disliked about it, and that sours any further conversation cuz now you're also worried they just don't share your taste in literature.
    In the extremely few cases where you've both read the same book in about the same timeframe, the lack of social skills from all those years as a bookworm basically transforms the convo into 'it was good', 'I liked it too', 'cool', 'cool', awkward pause, next topic.

    I think it's the problem of the non popular form of art.
    While with books you have not only to be lucky to find someone that reads but also that shares your genres AND authors with other type of media you can start with the most recent popular stuff and you'll soon find something you both have seen/played.
    Moreover, differently than the other way around, books bring readers to the other media but that doesn't always apply the other way, i mean i don't think that with the release of that Nicolas Cage's vampire movie someone said "Hey, i really have to read Dracula you know?"

      "non popular form of art."
      Idk, about that, looks very popular to me. Problem is that there is some much authors and books, that you will be in your niche. Also, unlike with netflix or tv you can't just stumble on the book randomly. You need to willingly pick it up and start reading.

      @@alexkozliayev9902 man, maybe once but nowadays reading (specifically referring to books so not comics of any kind) isn't popular, especially if compared to movies, TV series,videogames or comics.
      I can agree that, with the rise of streaming services, it's far easier to start a movie or a series on Netflix than willingly go to a book shop to buy Alice in Wonderland but then again comics and videogames (just as books) still require you to willingly go to a shop to buy them or buy them online (but you can do that even with e-books).
      Beside what i've said in the original comment, i think the reason behind this is that books still require more attention and dedication than a series on Netflix, you can bingewatch a series on Netflix in a couple of days and then go to another one, there's no way you can do that with a book
