I would most likely want to be of the race of Men. To me, Elves are cool and would be great to have as friends, but I personally would not want to be an Elf. There's some kind of appeal that Men have in LotR- the Elves' time has ended, so Men are taking initiative and trying their hand at helping Middle-Earth. Yes, their lives are shorter, but I find it intriguing how they know for sure that they are going to die and live their lives without fear and to the best of their abilities... but that's just me...

My second choice would be an Ent. Ents are fascinating in more ways than one.
