My guess is that this probably belongs in the "The Hobbit" thread.. forum.. thingy. But I'll answer it here.
I always like reading about the respites. My favorite one is when Gandalf is telling Beorn this long story to get him to be okay with so many dwarves at his door. It's kind of funny because that's what Gandalf does to Bilbo at the very beginning also! One or two dwarves at a time.. nice and easy does the trick.

I like the dialogue of the Trolls - Bert, Tom and Bill (William) Huggins.
"What's a bur- a- hobbit?" It still makes me laugh out loud!

Yes, there are some really funny scenes in there!
A beautiful - and very sad - scene is the one where Bilbo says goodbye to Thorin Oakenshield when he's dying. Thorin takes back all harsh words and wants them to part in peace. I find it very moving.

Welcome, Mark of Cenla
Elen s*la lúmenn' omentielvo I also like one of the very last lines of the book on a number of levels... Gandalf: "You don't really suppose, do you, that all your adventures and escapes were managed by mere luck, just for your sole benefit? You are a very fine person, Mr. Baggins, and I am very fond of you; but you are only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all!"

The steady dialogue between Smaug and Bilbo is a classic in all of literature, for me, and also the famous chapter, Riddles in the Dark, is fantastic.
Tolkien has a Hitchcockian way of building suspense and intensity while staying so subtle!
