That moment when you finish a book, look around, and realize that everyone is just carrying on with their lives as though you didn’t just experience emotional trauma at the hands of a paperback.

Thanks to sirgrumpygills for this submission!
I have actually considered it, because listening to a book on tape wouldn’t be quite the same.
Thanks to timid-troubadour for this awesome suggestion!

Hobbits like to throw parties at the shire.
Mom: Why is everyone such a grouch today?
Me: Our moon is a waxing crescent, that makes the hobbits extra rowdy. We throw parties at the shire.
Hobbits v. Hermits
Mom: Go to your room!
Me: Where else am I going to go?
Mom: You're such a hobbit.
Me: You mean I'm a hermit.
Guess what I’m reading right now?
Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan!
It’s phenomenal thus far!
Have you read it? What did you think of it?
EDIT: Just now realizing how confused my teacher is going to be when I have to write reflections on the characters: “Well Will Grayson said this… No, not that Will Grayson, the other one. Yeah.”
Also laughing because whenever I say Will is going to do something I write Will will blah blah blah. And I’m laughing because it’s a double Will and I’m clearly five years old and amused by such things.
