Frodo and Sam! I love them so.
I have had a lot of people writing to me lately with some variation of “I see that you really love Lord of the Rings but I cannot figure out why because I tried to read those books and it was like a really long, boring walk to Boringtown and I gave up in Chapter Two and oh my God hobbit real estate, why.” I am thinking of posting my Cracked-Out and Possibly-Immoral Guide to Getting Through Lord of the Rings, The Books, As An Absolutely Last Resort If You Would Otherwise Give Up Entirely. Watch out for it.
I made a promise, Mr Frodo. A promise. “Don’t you leave him Samwise Gamgee.” And I don’t mean to. I don’t mean to.
