I chose the silmarilion because it explains so much of the history of the elves. Before I read it I didn't have a clue about half of the songs or references to history in LOTR, the sil cleared so much up. Also, I love the fact that it has so many stories in it. Its sort of like a two for one deal, only better. My favourite is definatly the story of Turin, I just feel so sorry for the poor guy!

I voted for Unfinished Tales, because today that is my favourite. It could change at any moment, because I love them all. The tale of Túrin will always be one of my favourites though.

I voted ROTK, as it's my favorite of the trilogy. I love the Silmarillion, too. Hard choice.... Turin's story is one of my favorites too. So tragic and moving.

My favorite has to be the hobbit after all it shows the world what tough little fellas we are

I'm torn between The Silmarillion and FotR. I love the style that the Silmarillion is in, but I like FotR because Boromir is in it and it is just my favorite of the series. well...it almost ties with RotK.

I voted for the Sil. I love that book. Theres so much history! The story of Turin always gets me. It's so sad! It always makes me tear up

What does HoME stand for?

HoME stands for History of Middle-earth, a series of books edited by Christopher Tolkien. It's got some great stuff. #3 is my favorite, the Lays of Beleriand. Perfect for any Beren and Luthien fans.

I haven't read any of the books, unfortunetly. Infact, I never read books. I have a short attention span. My friend will read them to me one day though, cause she has some of them. Then I'll be able to answer this question, heh.

You could probably get them from your library.

I know www.councilofelrond.com has started a book club...you read a chapter a week. You'd be behind, but it's supposed to make reading the books easier

In truth all the books are fantastic, but I love the Fellowship of the ring simply because it is the begining of the greatest journey ever and once you start reading the first book in the trilogy how could you possibly stop before the end
