Re: Faerlas
Lem

I read the Screwtape Letters and really enjoyed it. It's basically letters written from one demon in hell to another, who is trying to corrupt a man. The letters describe how the younger demon should be baiting this guy. It shows how corruption is very minute and small-scale, and I found Lewis's interpretations of the sins/corruption very intriguing.

As for Frodo and the mithril...in the movie, he seemed to have gotten stung on the neck, and the mithril was only under his shirt, so I guess he was stung above it? I don't remember where he was stung in the book.
