I don't feel alone anymore! My friends here are not as in love with the books as I am, and they would not understand this. When I read the appendix, and found out that Merry and Pippin died, I was so sad. It was like my best friend had died. And it wasn't much better to know that Sam went to Valinor, because I will never get to go there and see him. It's the saddest thing ever. And it seems like I did the same thing as the rest of you: re-read it. again and again and again and again....10 times in a row. Just to reassure myself that Merry was not dead. (By the way: the saddest part in FOTR: Merry after being brought out of the Barrow: "Ah, yes, now I remember. The men of Carn Dum came on us at night and we were worsted. Ah! the spear in my heart!" I cried for 10 minutes.) And Pippin was still singing the bath song, and Frodo was still calling on Elbereth and Eärendil and Lúthien, and Sam was still threatening suicide over his supposedly dead master....
