The best Frodo/Sam stories are the most angst-ridden ones, by their very nature, what with the sundering seas and all that. I feel like I'm drowning in misery! I feel like I've been scoured. I really, really need to read something cheerful.

Truthfully, I'd forgotten the intense melancholy the book provoked in me as a pasty-faced 12 year old. The Grey Havens made me cry, with the thought of Sam being left behind, and Frodo fading away into memory. And Arwen laying down on the deserted hills of Lothlorien to die, alone. God, I love a good dose of angst.

Couldn't agree more.

I love that 'drowning in misery' feeling, and these two fit the bill perfectly.
