Out of all of Tolkeins books what is your favorite one. Also what are your top 3. Mine are The Return of the King, Fellowship of the Ring, The Hobbit/The Two Towers. The / means they're tied. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

piosenniel · 08-11-2002, 03:28 PM

Favorite book of the moment: Book of Lost Tales II - 'The Fall of Gondolin', to be specific.

Second favorite: The Lays of Beleriand - 'The Lay of Leithian/Release from Bondage'

The Sim for me. It's got everything, and the fact that my favorite Tolkien character of all time is Luthien helps a bit, too. (and Melian ranks second) After that comes... ROTK. It's pretty dark what with Frodo and Sam in Mordor and Sauron's forces coming against Gondor.

Ms. Took · 08-12-2002, 12:27 AM

I have a hard time choosing between RotK and TTT.

Anunia · 08-12-2002, 02:35 AM

Well... here it is:

1. RotK (everything is sooo great...)
2. TTT (especially the Battle at Helm's Deep)
2. FotR
3. The Hobbit

I haven't read the Silmarillion yet...

Ringwraith Number Two · 08-12-2002, 12:47 PM

Mine is The Two Towers, the ending was very good, really made you want to read The Return of the King.

Eruwen · 08-12-2002, 12:51 PM

Well, mine are:

1. FOTR
2. ROTK
3. TTT

I know, kinda a wierd order. But I liked the ending of ROTK better than TTT.

Oh, and Nazgul Number 2, cool pic in signature. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

My favorite book? Hmmmm, toughie. List.
1: LotR
2: Unfinished Tales
3: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
4: Dragonsong

Davin · 08-12-2002, 03:10 PM

1. RotK
2. TTT
3. FotR

Mainly it that order because the more I read, the more I enjoyed them. So if I read FotR again...it would be my favorite.

The Sim is grrreat, but I haven't finished it yet, so I don't know how I would rank it.

*Varda* · 08-12-2002, 04:19 PM

Just want to point out to ringwraith number 2 there are only 8 Nazgul in that picture (as at the Ford of Bruinen in the movie...don't ask why, I don't know). Still, cool picture.

1. RoTK
2. TTT
3. FotR
4. UT
5. Silm

Gimli Son Of Gloin · 08-12-2002, 05:28 PM
