They're all brilliant, but which is your favourite? (I'm not counting the histories or Unfinished Tales)

A tie between the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. I gave the vote to the Hobbit just because it's more manageable. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

The silmarillion is pretty short as well.

I tried to read it but I couldn't get into it. It just didn't have the same feel as the other 2.

It looks like I'm the only person who thought the silmarillion was any good.

I'm sure there's someone else in the world who likes it.

I like the LotR trilogy the best. I do enjoy the Hobbit a lot, and I've always gotten bored with the Silmarrilion.
