The story of Turin, and the fall of Gondolin.

Lord Manafirogh · 02-19-2003, 02:50 PM

The all book is great. I can't choose.

Laurus Nobilis · 02-19-2003, 05:38 PM

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

The Nirnaeth Arnoediad, and the Fall of Gondolin.

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

Absolutely. One of the best parts of the book.

I like Fingolfin vs. Melkor, and when the Naugrim killed a (or the?) dragon

Inderjit Sanghera · 02-21-2003, 10:53 AM

They wounded Glaurung, in the Nirnaeth.

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.

Getchan · 02-24-2003, 11:50 PM

I might as well list every chapter! The book as a whole is my favorite part.

Utumno · 02-26-2003, 11:03 AM

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:

As three great jewels they were in form. But not until the End, when Feanor shall return who perished ere the Sun was made, and sits now in the Halls of Awaiting and comes no more among his kin; not until the Sun passes and the Moon falls, shall it be known of what substance they were made.

I just love that about Feanor "who perished ere the Sun was made"... and not until "the Sun passes and the Moon falls"...

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.

Blackboar · 02-26-2003, 01:06 PM

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.

Ithilwin · 03-08-2003, 01:26 PM

Though I haven't finished it,I really can't tell.'Of the beggining of days' perhaps...

Melko Belcha · 03-13-2003, 12:24 PM

The Ainulindale and the story of Turin.

Gwaimir Windgem · 03-13-2003, 01:21 PM

Akallabeth, Ainulindale, and Valaquenta.

Ruinel · 03-18-2003, 09:18 PM

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!!!

*looks around to see if anyone has noticed that Ruinel is a smart-"s".

*expected her to scream about Finrod*

But I met a lot of things on the way that astonished me. Tom Bombadil I knew already; but I had never been to Bree. Strider sitting in the corner at the inn was a shock, and I had no more idea who he was than had Frodo. The Mines of Moria had been a mere name; and of Lothlórien no word had reached my mortal ears till I came there. Far away I knew there were the Horse-lords on the confines of an ancient Kingdom of Men, but Fangorn Forest was an unforeseen adventure." ~ J. R. R. Tolkien
