I'll join with Birdland in that epic poetry has never been the first thing I grab for on the bookstore shelves (well, "The Divine Comedy" is good, but that's a little different). If I have to pick the Tolkien poetry that I most enjoy reading out loud, though [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] - any of the hobbit-songs ("O, Water hot is a noble thing!" and Sam's "Troll sat alone on a seat of stone" for example) and for some reason, the Ent-song when they're marching on Isengard. "Though Isengard be strong as stone, we go, we go, we go to war!" If you can't see why this is a favorite, try reading it out loud and you'll see.
