Lord of the Rings at 8, Silmarillion at 11 (after a failed attempt at age 9). LotR is truly great. I'd disagree with those who say that youngsters don't get as much out of it. Perhaps I'm more emotional when I read it now, but I did get a full sense of character, as well an understanding of the Fellowship's struggles, and the utter length of the Quest.
