I have read most of the books by Tolkien and throughly enjoyed each and every one. But I must say my favorite book is the Hobbit. It's the most simplistic, and you don't have to know the histories really to sit down and enjoy. I keep it at hand on my bookshelf if I feel like I need a quiet read. It's also the best book to help get new people into Tolkien because it is so easy to understand. Bilbo is every man(and woman.) Just a little hobbit who got a little nudge out of the door and ended up on a adventure that would shape the rest of his life(if only we were so lucky...)
