Oh, no, I LOVE the books I read. It's just that they seem like a good dish. You've eaten it, enjoyed it and moved on. They don't consume you. Yes, you go to Tumblr, enjoy the fancontent, but realize it's just a story. Probably yes, it's growing up.

I'm 45 and I still live in books but I will say I don't pay attenion to fan content. I think hearing other people's opinions and theories would make it feel more like it's just a story. Right now I'm reading Fairy Tale by Stephen King and I just love the world he has created I just want to sit in it and not even think about other people's interpretations.
