Re: Which good guy (girl) do you least like?

A bit off-topic but Merry's comment about different parts of the book appealing to different people made me think: for some reason my favorite parts of LotR are the discusrsive parts where ppl just sitting around talking -- e.g. The Shadow of the Past chapter, the Council of Elrond, Strider's meeting with the hobbits in Bree, even the council of captains after the Battle of Pelennor Fields (when Gandalf says "I do not counsel prudence . . &quot

. I'm not sure why that is, but JRRT seems at his best in these parts. But other ppl may like the "action" parts better.
