@AaronIrber “Sam was pained to notice how little honour [Frodo] had in his own country.”
It’s always seemed odd to me how much people enjoy promoting Sam to the detriment of Frodo, especially in light of the above. Fwiw I think Elijah Wood’s performance to be deeply moving.
@itsrapha83 These are amazing! I was in Rome two weeks ago and discovered a whole new church I’d never even heard about that blew me away. Would recommend San Gioacchino in Prati whenever you’re next back. It has a bunch of side chapels each dedicated to the saints of a particular country.
@adampollock@itsrapha83 I’m not sure about the Long Room, it currently doesn’t have any books in it. Marsh’s Library is currently a better bet for that kind of vibe, and not too far from the Chester Beatty.
