I just love the Appendix in general. I was enthralled with the book that finding out what happened to everyone was very important to me. It also made me want to read the Sil.

The tale of Aragorn and Arwen always seemed to be the most rememberable to me but I liked alot of the appendices as it gives you alot of background on the story itself. There extremely good for reference as well, with all the family trees and maps in them they make a very useful tool.

Firefoot has been trapped in the Barrow!
Appendix B with all the chonologies - especially the part "later events concerning the members of the Fellowship of the Ring." From Appendix A "The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen" and the part about Thorongil. And the Hobbit family trees fascinate me.

Interesting - most people read the Sil because of the Appendices. It was the Sil that made me read the full of Appendices A and B.

I liked Appendix B: The Tale of Years; I enjoyed seeing when certain things happened and how they tied into the events of the War of the Rings. Appendix C: The Family Trees were also really neat. My other favourites were The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen, the Shire Calendar, the Pronunciation of Words and Names, and the Angerthas.

I liked Appendix A on the Elder Days and the Númenoreans. The Tale of Arwen and Aragorn was good too, as were the family trees and the chronology of the years.
