It was a really good book... the movie is just a bit strange, though. |

Close. It does have to do with Sauron though. Not the Wolf part, though I came close.

Right then. It's in the chapter of Beren and Luthien and it's the contest of Sauron and Felagund. My favourite parts are as follows: "For Felagund strove with Sauron in songs of power, and the power of the King was very great; but Sauron had the masrery, as is told in the Lay of Leithian..." Then that poem follows it. My actual squee moment is right at the end. It get's me every time...don't really know why, actually. "The wolf howls. The ravens flee. The ice mutters in the mouths of the Sea. The captives sad in Angband mourn. Thunder rumbles, the fires burn - And Finrod fell before the throne." Amazing mental image of Sauron totally winning that gets me every time... yes, I know, I'm strange. |

True, true... do you have a bad fangirlish moment, HATI? (well, besides Aragorn, that's a given!) |

Actually that's not a bad fangirl moment. Maybe it's just the line 'Finrod fell before the throne' that does soemthing in me, and also reminds me of Joseph, but it's a fangirly bit. My fangril moment has to be the Beren and Luthien meeting. Makes me feel all tingly. |

It does have to do with Sauron though. Not the Wolf part, though I came close.
