The Nirnath Arnoediad, perhaps...and the story about Tuor and Gondolin and the story of Turin.

But my absolute favorite part is probably the one concerning Fëanor.

Nirnaeth Arnoediad is probably my favourite part, but the story of Turin is also good.

Too many favorites to list, so I'll say the whole book.

Fingolfin versus Morgoth....

'Et Eärello Endorenna utúlien.

In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.'

'Then Tuor arrayed himself in the hauberk, and set the helm upon his head, and he girt himself with the sword; black were sheath and belt with clasps of silver. Thus armed he went forth from Turgon's hall, and stood upon the high terraces of Taras in the red light of the sun. None were there to see him, as he gazed westward, gleaming in silver and gold, and he knew not that in that hour he appeared as one of the Mighty of the West, and fit to be father of the kings of the Kings of Men beyond the Sea, as it was indeed his doom to be; but in the taking of those arms a change came upon Tuor son of Huor, and his heart grew great within him. And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin

The Akallabêth would have to be my favorite part of the silmarillion. Everything about Númenórë has fascinated me.

When Fëanor defies the Valar, that was so cooooool. And also this part:
Quote:
The Children of Ilúvatar have accomplished the impossible! Morgoth has been vanquished by his mortal foes. The Valar humbly acknowledge the courage, dignity, and power of the peoples they had forsaken and abandoned to the Power of the North. The Ñoldor and the Sons of Fëanor are forgiven and invited to return to the Blessed Land.
No wait, that was just a game.
My favorite part is also in the Nirnaeth Arnoediad
Quote:
But now a cry went up, passing up the wind from the south from vale to vale, and Elves and Men lifted their voices in wonder and joy. For unsummoned and unlocked for Turgon had opened the leaguer of Gondolin, and was come with an army ten thousand strong, with bright mail and long swords and spears like a forest. Then when Fingon heard afar the great trumpet of Turgon his brother, the shadow passed and his heart was uplifted, and he shouted aloud: 'Utúlie'n aurë! Aiya Eldalië ar Atanatári, utúlie'n aurë! The day has come! Behold, people of the Eldar and Fathers of Men, the day has come!' And all those who heard his great voice echo in the hills answered crying: 'Auta i lómë! The night is passing!'
I truly believed at that time that they would win the battle.

“What does the term american refers to” asked the boy, and the wise man answered: “Lets look at the dictionary then.”
As an adjective American is:
1. Of or relating to the United States of America or its people, language, or culture.
2. Of or relating to North or South America, the West Indies, or the Western Hemisphere.
As a noun American is:
A native or inhabitant of America.
A citizen of the United States.

Then the boy asked, “What is America then?”, and the wise man looked at the dictionary again:
1. The United States.
2. also the A·mer·i·cas. The landmasses and islands of North America, Central America, and South America.

Confused, the boy asked, “Does the term american refers solely to a us citizen or to any person in North, Central or South America?”
The wise man replied: “What do you think?”, and the boy answered: “It is clear to me that while the term american is used to refers to us citizens, one can also use it to refer to any person who is from that continent too,” the boy thought for a while and asked the wise man, “Am I right?”, and he replied: “But of course.”
The boy wondered, why is it that some people refuse to acknowledge the fact that the term american refers not only to US citizens but to anyone of the American continent?, but then sadly, the boy understood, that it is the calamity of ignorance.

I'm another Numenorean freak, so the Akabelleth gets half my vote. The other goes to the history of Turin and his cursed life.

In part, it's his many problems that *make* him so awesome (as twisted logic as that is).
