Well that's just you init
That's cool dude. I got the first book when I was like 8 and just never had the intellectual capacity to fully appreciate it! I've watched all the films which are bloody brilliant but I kick myself that I didn't read the book sooner. Must pick them up!

It's really full of meaningless details. I'm just reading them because I always feel left out...
Oh, by the way, I only finished the second book. Took me a while to read

I have a few friends who are wild about Tolkien! They do say it is unbelievable how much stuff he has created - the amount of detail in the worlds and even the language just itself is remarkable! I can see what you mean by meaningless because none of that stuff will have any use in the real world unless you are doing a lord of the rings quiz!
hehe But it does have meaning if it helps you and makes you feel better
You should take some time away from the books though and practice talking to people - I tend to absorb myself in things a lot and by the end of it it doesn't to much good for me

No, it isn't a compulsion. But it could be hypochondria. Stop complicating your life needlessly by looking for signs which justify your ideas that there is something wrong with you.
Since childhood, I have a habit of rocking back and forth which would probably seem to you more compulsive than checking pages.

Yes, I've had spasms of hypochondria, not fun.
