It seemed peculiar to me at the time, but when I was re-reading The Lord of the Rings in the midst of the mess that my life was freshman year of college, I started to really like Sam.

My first reading left me apathetic to him, but the second time around, in circumstances slightly darker and slightly lonelier, reading about Sam cheered me up a bit (and to tell you the truth, at one point, I was beginning to forget how to laugh).

So I feel ya, Finwe, and everyone else on this thread.
