I found the essary on the Istari to be of the most interest. I also like the detail Tolkien goes into in the sadly-incomplete 'Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin.' Other favourites are 'Aldarion and Erendis' and 'The Disaster of the Gladden Fields' - the latter of which is a satisfying story to sit and read in one short sitting because of its convenient length (though it is important - it was a pivotal event in the Third Age).
