The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien

The first installment of this epic adventure holds up after many re-readings. Some of my favorite moments this time around were Frodo's gradual acceptance of his task, his increasing willingness to let his friends accompany and help him, and Galadriel's test. I'm coming increasingly to terms with Boromir--at first, I saw him only as the bad guy who tries to steal the ring for Gondor part way through, but now I see him as a flawed individual who gets redemption.
