In case you're wondering, my choice was Return of the King. The Hobbit is good too, as I wrote one of my book reports on it.

Most of us? Where id you get this information? I'm sorry but I really dislike blanket statements like this, that may or may not involve me: A Tolkien not-fan. I'd go so far as to say that I don't like his works at all.Napoleon wrote:Since most of us here are Tolkien fans,
Well that's fine if you don't like it. We'll just put you in the "some members don't like Tolkien" section then.Ye Olde Republic wrote:Most of us? Where id you get this information?

Does Christopher Tolkien have his own set of works? I'd never heard of that before. Or do you just mean the Middle-Earth works (like The Silmarillion) that he published for his father?quaraga wrote:I group the silmarillion with tolkein's son because he more or less stuck together tolkein's stuff into a book. the hobbit is best because bilbo is just so bewildered that he's on an adventure. also in the 2 towers and return of the king, you read all about gandalf and aregorn but then you read the frodo parts and think "why am I reading this?"

Heh heh heh... I can only speak for myself here, (and I love Tolkien), but I do remember thinking this sometimes when I was younger and encountered parts in his books where he would give great amounts of details or back story about something could find significant.Blue Moon Knight wrote:quaraga wrote:Also, I've never experienced that "why am I reading this" feeling.

Ah, I think I see now. Thanks!ottoatm wrote:Heh heh heh...

It may be due to the style of writing Tolkien used. In this case, he used a sort of "third-person-intrusive"Napoleon wrote: This is interesting. Even though The Hobbit is good, I am surprised that it is winning, as I figured that either FotR or RotK would win.
