Favorite book of the moment: Book of Lost Tales II - 'The Fall of Gondolin', to be specific.

Second favorite: The Lays of Beleriand - 'The Lay of Leithian/Release from Bondage'

The Sim for me. It's got everything, and the fact that my favorite Tolkien character of all time is Luthien helps a bit, too. (and Melian ranks second) After that comes... ROTK. It's pretty dark what with Frodo and Sam in Mordor and Sauron's forces coming against Gondor.

Mine is The Two Towers, the ending was very good, really made you want to read The Return of the King.

Well, mine are:

1. FOTR
2. ROTK
3. TTT

I know, kinda a wierd order. But I liked the ending of ROTK better than TTT.

1. RotK
2. TTT
3. FotR

Mainly it that order because the more I read, the more I enjoyed them. So if I read FotR again...it would be my favorite.

The Sim is grrreat, but I haven't finished it yet, so I don't know how I would rank it.

Just want to point out to ringwraith number 2 there are only 8 Nazgul in that picture (as at the Ford of Bruinen in the movie...don't ask why, I don't know). Still, cool picture.
