I read all of it and those are all great but if I have to choose only one, I think Silmarillion. It just felt so surreal while I was reading it and I can't imagine how much of a genius Tolkien was for coming up with everything that are in that book.
But "The Lord of the Rings" books should still have an honorary mention for me.

As this thread doesn't seem to be ignored anyway, I'll give my opinion too.
I like the Appendices very much, I think the tale of Aragorn and Arwen is so beautiful, it still makes me cry. Too bad it's only so short.

how is The Appendices a book?
i thought it's part of the return of the king.
and that's my fav book. i think it's the most exciting and captivating of the three books.
the silmarillion, althought a great book, was a bit complicating and hard to read.

Return of the king is also my fav. I've never read the silmarillion. I'm sure it is cool, but I think it's too complicated for me.

Well, the Appendices aren't really a book no, it's one book together with FotR, tTT and RotK, but I split it up, so there was a bit of a choice.
