Yes I know LOTR is not historically accurate. That was why I called it a dream.
A room without books is like a body without a soul.
Facts are meaningless. They can be used to prove anything that is even remotely true.
Go then, there are other worlds than these.

>You can get quite rude xP

I think he has 'asparagus syndrome' - which means he behaves in an arrogant and discerning manner. My friend had it, but then it went away.

We now call those "nobles", in fact they were little more than highway robbers with a sense for dramatic architecture.
Well.. they lived contently.. most people lived complacent lives because they did not know better. If we reverted back to an older society, we could not achieve the same satisfaction in life simply because we would know that we could live much better lives.

Um, yes. Well the problem my friend had with 'Asparagus Syndrome' was that his lack of empathy meant he was less likely to foster normal relationships with other people in society. In order to get round that, and this is all based on my experiences with the mofo, he developed a rather arrogant and self-conceited outlook to life. Of course, his arrogance was nothing more than a front/facade, used to protect him from the cruelty of other people judging him because he was deemed socially inept.

Sad, but ultimately his arrogance lead to his demise. He was a clever guy, although he had rather obsessive one track interests. His fascination with asparagus's didn't help either lolz.
