I would have to say that The Fellowship of the Ring is still my favorite, with the brilliant way in which the history of the Ring is revealed (in contrast to the movie), the surreal terror makes its way into the Shire, the flight through the wild lands east of Bree, the Council of Elrond, and then the journey through Moria. The focus is on a smaller group of characters large and small (in stature as well as "importance"), while the other books shift over to a focus on the actions of royalty and their grand battles. Even in the second and third books I value the scenes most with the lesser folk, probably sections of the book that others might ignore (the part where Frodo and Sam negotiate the Morgai)...
