Favourite Tolkien book: I like em all. Except maybe some of those in HoME (those feel more like history books than anything else...)
Favourite Tolkien character: Arwen, Frodo, and Legolas. I don't have one fave.
Favourite Tolkien scene, moment or storyline (if you have one): When everything is all nice again and there's a mallorn in the Shire and Aragorn is king and stuff.

His works are... um... to me like the Bible is to Christians? It's an example of good narrative mixed with descriptive detail. Many stories are either one or the other.
Favourite moment in the movies: Aragorn/Arwen scenes. x]
Worst moment in the movies: Legolas's Captain Obvious moments
