The Lothlorien chapters. Omg, when I first read that, I remember just being in awe. It was some of the most beautiful writing I ever read- scenic, poetic, emotional and deep, just amazing world building. Even though I absolutely love the movies, that was the first part in the book I read where I thought “wow. The movie version of this cannot even compare to the book’s”

These chapters contain my favorite paragraph in all of literature:

>They followed him as he stepped lightly up the grass-clad slopes. Though he walked and breathed, and about him living leaves and flowers were stirred by the same cool wind as fanned his face, Frodo felt that he was in a timeless land that did not fade or change or fall into forgetfulness. When he had gone and passed again into the outer world, still Frodo the wanderer from the Shire would walk there, upon the grass among elanor and niphredil in fair Lothlorien.
