Thanx for the recommendation  Er - may I ask where did you get the Tolkien bio? Other than LotR, The Hobbit, and The Sil, I can't find much other works of his, let alone ones about him.  _________________

People talking is not boring to me. I found the passage where Tolkien wrote about all the gifts from Galadriel a bit to long. Nothing really happened.
I don't know what chapter is my favorite, I guess all of them

I love all the chapters of FoTR but my favorite are the Council of Elrond and the ones that describe the Breaking of the Fellowship on Amon Hen and Parth Galen. These are amazing chapters for me. I learned a lot while reading the Council of Elrond and the emotions I feel when I reading another time the Breaking of the Fellowship are really beautiful. It's a very sensitive chapter with full of themes like frienship, love, courage = the theme of the Fellowship of the Ring and I love it like it is.

Oh - well - er - The Council of Elrond may be seen as a good chapter probably because it explains about everything and really clarifies about the mission and such. But for those people who are really impatient with literature sometimes ( Hence - (*cough*) - me) may find it not so great.  _________________

I think I'm going to make a poll on this to see how many people actually like/dislike The Council of Elrond. Be right back.....
