All the book is great, but my favourite part is the story of Beren and Lúthien. *sigh* I also liked Ainulindale a lot.

The Mines of Moria had been a mere name; and of Lothlórien no word had reached my mortal ears till I came there.

The Nirnaeth Arnoediad has always been my favorite part-still gets me even after many readings.

The Ainulindalë, because of the whole creation story, and that music, the command "Behold your Music!" and the wonder of the Valar, and the "gotcha" at the end of the chapter, that the vision was just that, and that upon entering Eä they had to labor to create what they had seen.

Upon first reading my favorite parts were Finrod's discovery and first meeting with men, Tears Unnumbered, the awakening of the elves, Fingolfin's battle with Morgoth, and Beleg's death... among other parts.
During my second reading The Flight of the Noldor had become another favorite. There are so many great moments in the book, I could not list them all, but there is something that I love and I never see anyone else mention: Quote:
I would even go as far as saying that the loss of those words would be the greatest of losses if one were to apply the Sun and Moon idea told in Myth's Transformed. Last edited by Utumno : 02-26-2003 at 11:04 AM. |

Lúthien and Beren, I LOVED that part! I liked reading it after when knowing that Tolkien described himself, though he more resembled Bilbo, to be Beren, and his wife Lúthien.
I really liked the Ainulindalë as well. I liked the whole book! Even though I didn't understand alot of it. |

My favorite part? Chapters 1 through 24, the Ainulindale, Valaquenta, Akallabeth, Of The Rings Of Power And The Third Age. The Tables were good also, as were the Note on Pronunciation and Indices and Appendix. Oh gosh! How could I forget!! The Map... good also. Sheesh!! How could I forget the Forward and Preface... what was I thinking!!!
