I loved Farmer Giles of Ham and the Adventures of Tom Bombadil. Farmer Giles of Ham is hilarious. Leaf by Niggle is haunting-- it's about creating something so huge it can't be really finished in a lifetime. There are only a few authors I've encountered who had the nerve to kill their hero off half way through the story, and you slowly realize it-- Leaf by Niggle, as far as I can tell, ends in purgetory.
