So, what chapter do you have in mind? I intend on presenting on monday the first chapter - unless it was your (or Marky's) choice too  . |

"'Ah, the Ring,' said Boromir, eyes lighting. 'The Ring! Is it not a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt for such a small thing? So small a thing! And I have seen it only for an instant in the House of Elrond. Could I have sight of it again?"
Frodo looked up. His heart went suddenly cold. He caught the strange gleam in Boromir's eyes, yet his face was still kind and friendly. 'It is best that it should remain hidden,' he answered.
'As you wish, I care not,' said Boromir"

I always enjoyed the end of the book with Boromir's temptation of the Ring and his sin, trying to take it from Frodo and get him to go to Minas Tirith, how he admits his "sin," and later "redeems" his worth in the battle against the Orcs (Two Towers). I've always enjoyed the character of Boromir, simply because man is fallible and tested with various temptations (especially for Christians). Boromir teaches us that through his sin, he had to pay for it, and in the end, he still was a conqueror. Love this character the most!
