My favourite fantasy books apart from LOTR are the Discworld books by Terry Pratchett (which take a lighthearted look at fantasy).
If I remember rightly there is a bit that he has stolen from LOTR
"Two pale glows appeared at the edge of the edge of the lamplight. Eventually they turned out to be the eyes of a small grey froglike creature paddling towards them on a log. It reached the boat, long clammy fingers reached over the side and a lubrigous face rose level with Nanny Ogg's.
'Ullo, It's my birthday', it said.
All three of them sared at it for a while. Then Granny Weatherwax picked up an oar and hit it firmly over the head. There was a splash and distant cursing.
'Horrible little bugger', said Granny.
'Yeah, its the slimy ones you've got to look out for. said Nanny."
