Thank you!
 In the beginning of The Two Towers, Eomer says to Grima: "Too long have you watched my sister, too long have you haunted her steps." What does this mean? Did Grima have an eye on her?  |

Yes. That's how Saruman "bought" Grima's loyalty. Grima had crushed on Eowyn for the longest time, but she scorned him. Saruman knew this, and promised that if Grima would work for him, he could have Eowyn for his reward. *shudders*

Ah, ok! I'm probably the only one but in the scene where Grima slowly puts his hand on Eowyn's neck/chin - right before she says:"Your words are poison!" - I find that moment a bit erotic

It is supposed to be. He is offering her one solution to her own loneliness, and despite how yuck-o he actually is, for a moment she gives in to just being touched and considers it.

One of my favorite things in Return of the King is in the very back of the book...the timelines. I love all the stuff in the back. There is the part though where it comes time and says, "Death of Mistress Rose, wife of Master Samwise". And it goes into the whole deal about how he gives the red book to Elanor and then crosses the sea. My question is...how would he get there? Would he not need an elven boat of sorts? Anyone have any info on this part?

Yup. Despite what they say in the movie, the ship that Frodo and company sail off in is NOT the last ship to leave Middle-earth. It's definitely one of the last, but there are still Elves hanging around who are later going to depart into the West.
As for how he would get there, maybe he stowed away on Legolas and Gimli's boat  Seriously, I don't know if it's stated anywhere in Tolkien't published work, anything about this. Maybe in the Letters?Actually, this just occured to me- Elvish ships are not the only ones ever to sail West and reach the Undying Lands. I think either the Unfinished Tales or the Book of Lost Tales is where this is mentioned: some mortal ships did make it there, "by the grace of the Valar" I think is how they put it. Earendil managed it, and the man from the BoLT made it at least to Tol Eressea, I believe. Those whom Ulmo favored were helped by him, and some of them managed to find the "straight path" that led out of "the circles of the world". I'll reread the BoLT and the UT and see if I can find this section again. VanaNavaree: "Avad kschiteran kswhat? Naveret kpstyan!" Varda: "That's not even a well-made badly-made-up language."
