Fellowship of the Ring final discussion, Part II chapters 7-10

For the next few weeks, as readers trickle in with their notes, we will be discussing the following chapters:

7: The Mirror of Galadriel
8: Farewell to Lorien
9: The Great River
10: The Breaking of the Fellowship

We also need to discuss when to start the reread of The Two Towers . . . any ideas?

Even the most magnificent of the powerful can be humbled by the offerings of the weak. I think the scene with Galadriel and the visions / ring is one of the most powerful in the whole book.

How long did they stay in Lorien?

The soppy side of Gimli

If Boromir had not been in the party would they even have considered Minas Tirith?

Sam shows his wits again, Strider fails in ledearship qualities.
