Tom Bombadil is a badass who commands ents, fears no wight and over whom The One Ring holds no power.

"And you?" [Galadriel] said, turning to Sam. "For this is what your folk would call magic, I believe, though I do not understand clearly what they mean; and they seem also to use the same word of the deciets of the Enemy."

Not bad. Definitely an "inspired by" situation instead of an adaptation but I've got no problem with that.

Galadriel peacing out and swimming back to middle-earth was hillarious.

some say his wartime assassin antics are still classified in her majesty's archives. some say he made it all up because he was, as were and are many, a big clingy nerd who needed people to like him.

The books is much brisker than this. Chapter 1 is Bilbo's party, chapter 2 you get the history of the ring and you learn that Frodo is in grave danger and has to run for his life. So 1 hour into the book you know the main character well, you know why he's being threatened and you know what he has to do.

The entire first book is a slow and meandering stroll until they get near the fords at the very end. Frodo learns he's in grave danger and just hangs out and drinks tea for months. Some of the wildest action is Sam throwing an apple at a dude's head.

�And far away, as Frodo put on the Ring and claimed it for his own, even in Sammath Naur the very heart of his realm, the Power in Barad-d�r was shaken, and the Tower trembled from its foundations to its proud and bitter crown. The Dark Lord was suddenly aware of him, and his Eye piercing all shadows looked across the plain to the door that he had made; and the magnitude of his own folly was revealed to him in a blinding flash, and all the devices of his enemies were at last laid bare. Then his wrath blazed in consuming flame, but his fear rose like a vast black smoke to choke him. For he knew his deadly peril and the thread upon which his doom now hung.

From all his policies and webs of fear and treachery, from all his stratagems and wars his mind shook free; and throughout his realm a tremor ran, his slaves quailed, and his armies halted, and his captains suddenly steerless, bereft of will, wavered and despaired. For they were forgotten. The whole mind and purpose of the Power that wielded them was now bent with overwhelming force upon the Mountain. At his summons, wheeling with a rending cry, in a last desperate race there flew, faster than the winds, the Nazg�l, the Ringwraiths, and with a storm of wings they hurtled southwards to Mount Doom.�

My second favorite passage, the first being the Witch King's blood curdling threat to Eowyn of which the film disapointingly only uses the first line.

edit: that whole scene really

Book 5, Chapter 6 The Battle of the Pelennor Fields posted:

�Begone, foul dwimmerlaik, lord of carrion! Leave the dead in peace!"

A cold voice answered: 'Come not between the Nazg�l and his prey! Or he will not slay thee in thy turn. He will bear thee away to the houses of lamentation, beyond all darkness, where thy flesh shall be devoured, and thy shrivelled mind be left naked to the Lidless Eye."

A sword rang as it was drawn. "Do what you will; but I will hinder it, if I may."

"Hinder me? Thou fool. No living man may hinder me!"

Then Merry heard of all sounds in that hour the strangest. It seemed that Dernhelm laughed, and the clear voice was like the ring of steel. "But no living man am I! You look upon a woman. Eowyn I am, Eomund's daughter. You stand before me and my lord and kin. Begone, if you be not deathless! For living or dark undead I will smite you if you touch him."

How are "wisdom, mercy, understanding" and "bullheaded scrapper" mutually exclusive? As another said I think you just don't like this depeiction are are looking for back-up in the text to prove you are right to dislike it.

What did the hobbits drink during their journey

I want to see how they meticulously collected drinkable water

Worrying about water actually comes up quite a bit once Frodo and Sam cross into Mordor.

You know, I like the orcs being in white because it's both a little subversion of bad guys being in black and practical because white would block more sunlight.
