Ok OP, responding to the claim that you apparently "destroyed" my responses >>10756975
>>10756980

Firstly, you have no response to my pointing out the most obvious and important issue of how taking the ring from Frodo (he wouldn't willingly let this happen) and putting it in an iron cube, then giving it back, would drive him insane. He'd be obsessed with melting it down so he could touch it again, that's the kind of power the ring exerts.

Secondly, the eagles
1) why do you think the eagles would agree to do this? it's not their problem. They only ever agree to help Gandalf *rarely* because they owe him one. They owe him, personally. They don't owe middle-earth.

2) how do you know it wouldn't corrupt them, as it corrupts everyone else except Tom Bombadil?

3) Assuming the eagles agreed to take the ring to Mordor and somehow were uncorrupted, they would obviously be seen well in advance of getting to Mordor by Sauron's spies, and they would be intercepted by the Nazgul (all 9 of them acting in concert) and destroyed.

OP here, i was not trying to imply they are mutually exclusive. i do all three of those activities mentioned in my OP. but when you pick up a book to read in your leisure time, you are most likely choosing to do that RATHER THAN watching the next episode of that series of netflix or saying hi to your animal friends in animal crossing.

im asking why /lit/ anons choose to spend SOME of their time reading fiction, not limit themselves to only reading.
