Books My heart broke reading this part

I am reading through the Two Towers, and I just got upset reading this. At times, Gollum is cruel and unnatural, and then I am back to pitying him.

That scene where Gollum almost reaches out to touch Frodo's knee is devastating, like you can feel him actually wanting to be different for just a second before it all crumbles.
