Pervinca Took is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
My reasons are similar to Mithalwen's. There is very deep and genuine compassion at the heart of Tolkien's works, and what one reader who wrote to Tolkien called "sanctity."

I haven't read Game of Thrones. I did enjoy the Harry Potter series immensely, but it doesn't stand up to discussion the way Tolkien's works do. Plus the moral code/values behind it always feel rather calculated. It just doesn't generate discussion in the same way.
