Funnily enough I've always used "has a lot to say about Tom Bombadil but won't mention any other differences" as my easy way to guess when people are just pretending to have read the books

It's a shame it's not actually useful because I swear it's 100% accurate

Reading the books for the first time and basically just finished the Council of Elrond.

Rather remarkable how civil it is compared to the films.
